Supporting the Foundation

The Foundation is the fundraising arm of Bristol Hospital as well as the primary source of funds for new programs and medical equipment for the hospital. Every donor that gives to the Foundation is truly making an investment in the health of our community.

Planned Giving & Legacy Gifts

You may also make donations through gifts of stock, retirement assets, life insurance, bequests, donor advised funds and charitable IRA roll over. 

Gifts of Stock
When you donate appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual fund shares instead of cash, you'll receive charitable deductions at full, fair market value while reducing capital gains impact. Learn more about Stock Transfer Information here. 

Bequests
Through a provision in your written and executed Will or Trust, you can make a gift in the form of cash, securities, real estate or personal property. There are many types of bequests. Click here to learn more about bequests and choose the one that best fits your needs and intentions.

Gifts of Retirement Assets
Naming Bristol Hospital Foundation as the beneficiary of a qualified retirement plan asset such as a 401(k), 403(b), IRA, Keogh, profit sharing pension plan or other donor-advised funds, will accomplish a charitable goal while realizing significant tax savings. Learn more about gifting retirement assets here. 

Donor Advised Funds
Designate the Foundation as a beneficiary to receive all or a portion of the balance of your Donor Advised Fund (DAF) through your fund administrator. You can also make a grant to us at any time from your donor-advised fund. Learn more about DAFs. 

Charitable IRA Rollover
Make a Charitable IRA Rollover. If you're 70.5 years or older, you can make a gift directly from your IRA to the Foundation. While there is no charitable deduction for a rollover gift, you do avoid the income tax on the donated portion of your required minimum distribution. View IRA Rollover Information here. 

Gifts of Life Insurance
Name Bristol Hospital Foundation as the beneficiary and owner of a life insurance policy by either donating an existing, paid-up life insurance policy you no longer need, or by purchasing a new life insurance policy. Learn more about Life Insurance.

Brian's Story

It was business as usual for Brian Dehm until he had to undergo an emergency appendectomy. He could have chosen any hospital, but chose Bristol even though he lives in Simsbury. “I knew I could count on the Emergency Department, Drs. Sayre and the surgeons, the nurses, and all the caregivers here at Bristol Hospital when I needed them most. We’re all fortunate the hospital is here, and that’s why I support it monetarily, and as a volunteer.”
