Leave A Legacy

Leave a lasting mark on the future of Athens Neighborhood Health Center through a planned gift that helps fund groundbreaking care and research.

Through legacy giving, you can help ensure ANHC can provide primary care to all individuals for decades to come:

  • Gifts of stock
  • Retirement assets
  • Will bequests
  • Trusts and charitable gift annuities
  • Life insurance policies
  • We will collaborate with you or your advisors to design a giving plan that works for you and ANHC’s bright future.

As part of the estate planning process, you can designate a beneficiary who will receive a portion of your assets as outlined in your will. This designation allows for the transfer of various assets, including but not limited to cash, securities, real estate, or personal property, according to your estate plans. 

How can I include Shepherd Center in my will or estate plans? 

  1. Designate a particular asset or a percentage of your estate to Athens Neighborhood Health Center by including a bequest provision in your will or revocable trust. You can do this while creating your will or trust or amend an existing one with a simple document. ANHC can be either a primary or a contingent beneficiary. 
  2. Unless you specify otherwise, your gift will be used to support our top priorities. 
  3. Inform ANHC of your commitment, which helps with planning and ensures your wishes can be fulfilled. 
  4. ANHC receives the gift after your lifetime and applies it to the purpose(s) you specified. Unrestricted charitable gifts are used to support top priorities. 
  5. Your distribution is fully deductible for federal estate tax purposes, and there is no limit on the deduction your estate can claim. In addition, the gift is usually exempt from state inheritance taxes.
