Legacy Gifts
Legacy Giving: The Gift that Lasts Forever

The Cumberland Health Care Foundation has played a vital role in forwarding health care services and programs in Cumberland County. Its mission is to enhance the ability to provide a high standard of health care to all residents of Cumberland County by raising funds and supporting new and improved services, programs, equipment and facilities. The future of the Foundation requires vision, forethought and planning – a role which the board of directors of the foundation takes seriously. A legacy gift to the Foundation has the potential to be an expression of your values, a symbol of who you are and what you believe in. With your help we will have the means to realize our goals and achieve our mission, building upon a proud history that you will be a part of forever.

The Cumberland Health Care Foundation is supported by people like you, who are committed to health care in Cumberland County. The Foundation receives gifts and support through a number of means; some have a direct and immediate impact and others have a long lasting effect on the quality of health care in Cumberland County. Legacy gifts, such as bequests, gifts of life insurance, gifts of securities, real estate, charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts, as well as gifts to our endowment fund, have a lasting impact on the success of the Foundation in fulfilling its mission.

In making a legacy gift, you continue the good work of those who came before you by supporting an existing program or fund. You provide new opportunities for creating special endowments that suit your personal interest in health care. You support specific needs by designating your gift for a specific project or program and you provide a legacy of assistance for unknown future needs by giving an unrestricted gift, knowing that your gift will be used where it is most needed.
