Planned Giving

Help us go beyond the ordinary to deliver the exceptional healthcare experience in Wamego that every patient and family deserves. 

Planned giving allows you to make a lasting impact on the Wamego community, create healthy opportunities for future generations, and leave a charitable legacy that fosters what you value.

Planned giving provides a future charitable gift to the Wamego Hospital Foundation’s enduring mission to support the Wamego Health Center in achieving excellence in medical services by funding upgrades to facilities and equipment and programs that promote wellness and access to superb, local healthcare. 

A planned gift may offer many advantages:

  • Reduce or avoid your capital gains tax
  • Provide you or a loved one income for life
  • Allow you to make a much larger gift than you thought possible
  • Reduce your estate taxes
  • Create an income tax deduction for you

Wamego Hospital Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports healthcare and initiatives at Wamego Health Center.

Examples of planned gifts:

  • BEQUEST BY WILL
  • IRA OR QUALIFIED PLAN 
  • CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST 
  • CHARITABLE LEAD TRUST
  • LIFE INSURANCE POLICY

All gifts may be designated for a specific purpose, department or project. Unrestricted donations will be applied to the areas of greatest need at the time of the donation.

The suggestions above illustrate just a few of the many ways to accomplish charitable planned giving under current tax law. To ensure your planned  giving choices are right for you, please consult an attorney, certified public accountant or other tax professional when you begin planning.
