THE FRIENDS OF BASSETT'S PLANNED GIVING CONSULTANT
Structuring a bequest or deferred gift requires careful consideration and planning. Usually the process involves legal documents that often require the assistance of a professional advisor to complete. The Friends of Bassett offers the services of a knowledgeable, objective and qualified professional planned giving consultant to help those who are interested in making a charitable gift. Free of charge, our consultant will be able to provide you with personalized information specific to your estate and charitable planning needs after you have talked.

Donors who include Bassett in a deferred gift plan are gratefully acknowledged through membership in The Cupola Society. The society was established to honor the foresight and generosity of donors who express their faith in Bassett's future through bequests.

Popular planned giving options include:
• Bequests
• Gift Annuities
• Charitable Trusts & Unitrusts

Bequest
By including a charitable bequest to the Friends of Bassett in their will, donors can plan their estates to provide for themselves and their loved ones now and in the future. The bequest also will support Bassett programs that promote a healthier region through quality care, medical research and medical education.

Bequests allow many people to make contributions they might otherwise have been unable to make during their lifetimes while establishing a lasting legacy of support for Bassett Healthcare and the people of central New York. There also are tax benefits accrued when making such a gift.
