What Will Your Legacy Be?

For nearly 100 years, friends of Southwestern Vermont Medical Center  (SVMC) have made it possible for others to receive quality health care—close to home—when they need it most.

The foresight and generosity of donors who included SVMC in their estate plans have allowed SVMC to expand and improve in significant ways. These gifts continue to touch every department and program, funding new technologies, physician recruitment, nursing education, and enhanced facilities—to name a few key areas. 

Planned gifts allow you to impact the future of health care in our community without affecting your current financial situation. They come in many forms, such as a gift in your will or retirement plan, and they offer flexibility should your financial situation change.

By including SVMC in your estate plans, you are transforming the lives of patients and their families for generations to come.

Gifts by Will or Trust

A charitable gift from your estate is a favored method of giving that enables you to achieve your financial goals, maintain control of your assets, and benefit SVMC.
 

Naming Us in Your Assets

While you may transfer many of your assets through your will or living trust, a document called a beneficiary designation controls distribution of your retirement plans, life insurance policies, commercial annuities and a variety of financial accounts.
 

Life Income Gifts

Support SVMC while generating income for yourself and your family. Learn how these gifts allow you to achieve both of these goals.
