Memorial Gifts
Give a gift in memory of a loved one or ask for donations to Copley "in lieu of flowers" for the memorial service. 

Honor and Tribute Gifts
Honor a special someone for Mother's Day, Father's Day, retirement or other notable occasions. Naming gifts of $20,000 or more also available.

Matching Gifts
To increase your gift, ask your employer about matching donations.

Bequests
You can leave a lasting legacy by naming Copley as a beneficiary in your will, using wording such as "I give, devise, and bequeath to Copley Health Systems, Inc., a nonprofit organization in Morrisville, Vermont, the sum of $_______________ (or describe any real or personal property) to be used for general purposes."  If you want your bequest to be used only for the hospital, you can change "for general purposes" to "solely for the benefit of Copley Hospital, Inc., in Morrisville, VT."

Stock Gifts
Gifts of appreciated securities can help the donor reduce capital gains taxes and receive a tax deduction for the full market value of the stock. Please see Instructions for Giving Stock.
 
Gifts of Life Insurance or Retirement Plans
You can name Copley Hospital, Inc. as beneficiary of a new or existing life insurance policy, Individual Retirement Plan (IRA), Keogh Plan 401(k), 403(b) or qualified pension plan. These donations can reduce estate taxes.

Charitable Gift Annuities
A donor can transfer appreciated securities to Copley, and in return, Copley will ask a third party to draw up a contract in which Copley agrees to pay the donor a fixed annuity for life.

Charitable Remainder Trusts
If you have assets that are highly appreciated, earning a low rate of return, which would trigger large capital gains taxes if sold, you may want to transfer the assets into an independent trust that yields income interest for one or more beneficiaries. When the income interest ends, the trust ends, and the assets go to the charity.
