Donations
Help keep GCIHS vibrant with a donation. GCIHS is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization, and all donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. There are significant capital gains tax savings in donating stock that has appreciated, rather than selling it and donating cash.
Planned Gifts
All donations, large or small, yield the satisfaction of enriching the community, but planned gifts can provide significant tax benefits for the donor and contribute to the long-term sustainability of our organization. Types of planned gifts include bequests, living trusts, charitable remainder trusts, and life insurance and retirement account beneficiary designation. GCIHS encourages interested donors to discuss their planned giving options with a professional adviser.
