You can contribute to the Beaufort Memorial Hospital Foundation in a number of ways. To give a gift or to request more specific information, please contact us.

Stocks and Bonds

Bequests
Donors make a powerful statement in support of BMH’s work when they name the BMH Foundation as a beneficiary in their wills. The Foundation’s Tax ID # is 57-0792360. Please inform us of any plans you make so we can express our gratitude and welcome you into the Kate Gleason Society.
Charitable Gift Annuities
A charitable trust or annuity can be established that provides immediate benefits to the donor and, at the same time, supports BMH programs and services. [See the rate for your age group]
Retirement Plans and Insurance Policies
A simple way to make a special gift is by naming the Foundation as a beneficiary of an IRA, 401k, or Life Insurance Policy. With a single form, you can allocate a percent or amount to be disbursed to the Foundation upon payout. In addition, for those over 70 ½ who are required to take distributions from IRAs but do not itemize on their taxes, a qualified charitable distribution directly to the Foundation means you will not have to pay taxes on that portion of your required minimum distribution.
Real Estate
A gift of land and/or a house provides an enhanced tax advantage for donors or their heirs.
Personal Property
Items such as art or vehicles that have appraised values may be donated to the BMH Foundation.
Gift Planning Assistance
Beaufort Memorial Hospital can provide expert gift-planning assistance to individuals planning to support the BMH Foundation. This service encourages exploring philanthropic goals and capabilities that coincide with personal financial goals and considerations. The service can augment, but not replace, the donor’s own financial and legal advisors.
