Planned giving is a way to contribute to Central Maine Medical Center, Bridgton Hospital or Rumford Hospital through charitable donations made as part of your financial or estate planning. These gifts allow you to support our mission in a meaningful way, while also potentially providing financial benefits to you and your loved ones.
Please let us know if you have already included Central Maine Healthcare in your estate planning, or if you are considering doing so. Thank you.
Planned gifts can come in many forms, including:
Retirement Plans: You can designate a Central Maine Healthcare hospital as a beneficiary of your 401(k), IRA, or other retirement accounts, which may provide tax benefits to you or your estate.
Bequests: A gift made through your will or living trust. You can designate a specific amount or percentage of your estate to support one of our hospitals.
Charitable Gift Annuities: In exchange for a donation, you receive fixed, regular payments for life, and the remaining gift goes to one of our hospitals after your passing.
Charitable Remainder Trusts: These allow you to transfer assets into a trust, receive income during your lifetime, and designate the remainder to benefit one of our hospitals.
Life Insurance: By naming [Hospital Name] as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, you can make a significant future gift while maintaining your premiums during your lifetime.
