Cash

Write check, or use credit card.

Benefit to the donor:
Easy to make; income tax charitable deduction for full value of gift (subject to 50% of Adjusted Gross income limit).

Bequests

Bequests are provisions in a will or an estate plan that allocate all or part of an individual’s estate to the Tracy Hospital Foundation.

Benefit to the donor:
This gift can be made simply by naming the hospital in a will. It does not require an immediate gift or access to cash or properties and can be revoked at any time. This is the most popular type of gift, but has no immediate benefits to the donor except the satisfaction of giving to the Foundation and any applicable tax write-offs.
