How to Give
Gifts made from your estate by will, trust or beneficiary designation
Bequest
You designate Inova as the beneficiary of your asset by will, trust or beneficiary designation form. It costs nothing during your lifetime but ensures families have access to world-class healthcare for generations.
Beneficiary Designation Gift
You can name Inova as a beneficiary on your retirement, investment or bank account or life insurance policy. With a simple form and guidance from your financial institution, you can ensure your legacy lives on at Inova.
Gifts that provide you and your loved ones with income and tax benefits
Charitable Gift Annuity
A charitable gift annuity provides fixed payments for life (payments higher for older donors) while supporting life-saving care.
Charitable Remainder Unitrust
A charitable remainder trust allows highly appreciated property to be sold tax-free, providing you or loved ones with income payments for life.
Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust
You transfer cash or appreciated property to fund a charitable remainder annuity trust. The trust sells your property tax-free and provides you with fixed income for life or a term of years.
Sale and Unitrust
You give a portion of your property to us to fund a charitable remainder trust. When the property sells you receive cash and income for life.
Give It Twice Trust
A "give it twice" trust provides your family with income while making a meaningful gift to healthcare.
Pooled Income Fund
A pooled income fund is a special charitable fund. You make a gift to a pooled income fund and receive tax and income benefits in return.
Unitrust and Special Needs Trust
You provide for a loved one who has special needs and also make a gift to support our cause.
IRA to Gift Annuity Rollover
If you are 70½ or older, you can make a one-time IRA rollover to fund a charitable gift annuity and receive fixed payments for life.
Deferred Gift Annuity
You may be looking for a way to support our cause today while creating a future payment stream for retirement or future income.
Gifts that support our cause and save you taxes
IRA Charitable Rollover
An IRA charitable rollover allows individuals age 70½ or older to reduce their taxable income by making a gift directly from their IRA.
Charitable Lead Trust
Lower taxes for your family. A charitable lead trust makes gifts to Inova for several years, then passes remaining assets to your family, often with substantial estate tax savings.
Bargain Sale
Sell at a discount, save on taxes. We purchase your property below market value. You receive cash now plus a tax deduction for the charitable portion.
Donor Advised Fund (DAF)
A donor advised fund lets you make charitable gifts today while your children carry on your legacy of giving after you're gone.
Life Estate Reserved
You give your property to Inova but retain the right to use the property during your lifetime.
Blended Gift
There are many lifetime and estate gift options that can make your giving go farther than a simple gift of cash or property.
Gift and Bequest
A gift and bequest is a combination of a current gift and a charitable gift made in your will or trust. It is an easy way to support our cause today and make a lasting future impact.
Endowment Gift
An endowment is a fund you can create now or in the future to achieve the impact you desire.
