Making a Gift to the Homecare for Kids Campaign

There are several opportunities to support Homecare for Kids, allowing tax and income benefits for the contributor. Gifts can be made through cash, appreciated securities (stocks, bonds, mutual funds), appreciated real estate, or an IRA/retirement plan. While current gifts are needed, you are not limited to this form of giving. By naming the Foundation for Homecare & Hospice as a beneficiary in your will or trust, or in a life insurance policy, you help to ensure the quality and availability of Intermountain Homecare services in the future.
