Estate Gifts

At VNS Health, we make long-term giving easy.

Bequests

Making a gift by bequest to VNS Health can be as simple as inserting a paragraph into your will.  

Sample Bequest Language

“I give, devise, and bequeath to VNS Health, with offices at 107 E. 70th Street, New York, NY 10021 and federal tax ID 13-3189926, or its successors in interest, exclusive of my lifetime giving, if any, the sum of $_____, to be used for its general purposes at the sole discretion of its trustees.”

Your attorney can change this to a percentage of your residual estate or a specific asset, or to specify a particular program. 

If we can help, please have your attorney contact Tony Martignetti, Esq., 1-212-609-1556 or [email protected].

Life Income Gifts 

Life income gifts allow you to help fund VNS Health’s mission while providing you with a lifelong income stream and tax advantages, including in many cases partially tax-free annuity payments. 

Income-producing plans offered by VNS Health include: 

• Charitable gift annuities
• Charitable remainder trusts
• Charitable lead trusts

Gifts of Retirement Assets and Life Insurance 

You can also name VNS Health as a beneficiary of your:

• Life insurance policy
• IRA
• 401(k)
• 403(b)
• Pension
• Other retirement plan

Depending on the gift, there may be immediate tax benefits or savings to your estate.

In addition, a tax-free gift from your IRA directly to VNS Health may qualify as your required minimum distribution. 

Please call us at 1-212-609-1525 or email us at [email protected] for more information about how to make a gift of retirement assets and/or life insurance.
