Support our Mission of Senior Care
The quality and service of our communities are always benefited by the gifts of others, here are two ways in which you can give;
Gifting and Volunteering
Gifting
As the only community-based, not-for-profit, long-term care provider in our area, Sunrise needs and uses financial assistance from people like you to further enhance our services. While we are funded through Medicare, Medicaid, other third party payers and private payment, we rely on donations and fund-raising efforts to add new programs, enhance services and make improvements to our facilities.
Your gifts make a difference at Sunrise by enabling us to:
- Offer life enrichment programs
- Make physical improvements and
- Further strengthen services to help our residents maximize their ability to live with dignity and independence.
Perhaps you would like to pay tribute to Sunrise for the compassionate care shown to a family member. You might want to remember the life of a loved one who was or is with us with a special gift. Or perhaps, as a resident on our campus, you want to thank Sunrise for its many services.
If Sunrise has touched your life directly or through a loved one, please consider giving back to help us to advance our services.
Tax Deductible Contribution
Sunrise is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.
Gifts for Today
You may provide an outright gift to Sunrise through a donation of cash, personal property, or securities (stocks, bonds, CDs, etc.). In-kind gifts are also welcome. In addition to realizing tax advantages (immediate income tax deductions for the gifts, plus no capital gains tax due on appreciated property), you can be sure your donation has helped improve the quality of life for residents throughout the Sunrise community.
Gifts for the Future
You can ensure the future of Sunrise through a gift you leave in your will or estate. Examples of will/estate planning options include:
- Bequests
- Certificates of Deposits (CDs)
- Charitable Lead Trusts
- Charitable Remainder Trusts
- Life Insurance Gifts
- Living Trusts
- Gifts of Stock
We will be happy to answer general questions or concerns about these options and their tax benefits. For detailed assistance in finalizing your gift, please contact a professional advisor such as an attorney, bank trust officer, or life insurance agent. A professional advisor can help you plan efficiently and ensure the maximum tax incentives. Without a will or trust developed by a professional advisor, you will not retain control of your property after you pass away. Please make arrangements in advance to be certain your assets will be distributed as you wish.
Thank you for your consideration of a gift to Sunrise Retirement Community.
