Planned gifts: A bequest or other planned gift allows you to support Pleasant View in a manner you may not be able to offer through an outright gift. Consider the options and speak with the Pleasant View development director, or your financial or tax adviser to learn the benefits to you and your family through income sources, tax relief, or other advantages. Types of planned gifts include:
• Appreciated gifts: Publically traded stocks or mutual funds may be donated to Pleasant View Retirement Community. Development staff can help with the transfer process to ensure you get the full benefits from your gift. Appreciated gifts may be tax deductible and do not incur capital gains tax.Our development director will answer your questions or provide additional information. Call our development office at 717-664-6363.
• Charitable bequest: Including Pleasant View in your will with a gift of a specific amount or percentage of your estate gives you control of your assets during your lifetime and supports our future financial strength.
• Charitable gift annuity: A donor may exchange a gift of cash or appreciated property for a guaranteed fixed income each year for the rest of your life.
• Retained life estate: You may be able to make a gift of your home, farm or vacation home while continuing to use the property for your lifetime. You may receive a charitable deduction on your income tax based on the present value of your property; and may avoid capital gains tax on the appreciated value.
• Gift of life insurance: You may purchase a new policy or donate a policy you currently own but no longer need. Pleasant View would become both the owner and beneficiary of the policy; this may provide a significant charitable deduction.
• Gifts-in-kind or material gifts: Gifts to Pleasant View of certain products or services may be deducted in accordance with applicable tax laws.
