“Everyone should do it in order to ensure that their intentions for family, other loved ones and favorite charities will be fulfilled,” says Heather Hays, Vice President, Development, for RWJUH Rahway.

Gifts of All Sizes Can Make a Difference

“Every legacy gift can have a meaningful impact and contribute to making things better for the whole community,” says Greg Ellmer, Vice President, Gift Planning, for RWJBarnabas Health.

You Have a Say in Where the Money Goes 

Some people choose to give to an area of personal interest, such as cardiology, cancer care, or nursing scholarships.

“Many programs rely on philanthropy to improve and maintain an extraordinary level of care,” Hays says.

You Retain Control 

A gift will not affect your current cash flow and will allow you to maintain control of your assets. In addition, you have choices: You can leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after your loved ones are provided for.

If Circumstances Change, You Can Change Your Mind About the Planned Gift

“We understand that making a bequest is not something that gets decided quickly or casually,” Hays says. “Call us and we’ll be happy to have a conversation about what would work best for you.”
