Planned Giving
Discover a powerful way to make a gift last forever while realizing tax benefits for your generosity.Planned Giving is an effective way to have an impact on the future well-being of Ascension DePaul Foundation New Orleans (ADFNO). Individuals have many options available to them in making their estate plans such as bequests, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts or insurance policies.
Bequests – Hotel Dieu Society
ADFNO recognizes all who have made provisions for the Foundation in their estate plans through The Hotel Dieu Society. When a member of our community makes a planned gift they automatically become a member of this very important group of supporters of the Mission of the Daughters of Charity. Bequests, large and small, are a significant source of support for the ADFNO. Simply stated, a bequest is the act of naming the Foundation in your will. The Foundation's policy is for all realized bequests to be placed in the Foundation's endowment, unless otherwise specified by the donor. The Hotel Dieu Legacy Society honors a special group of donors who, through their legacy, support our efforts to provide health care centered on service to the poor, reverence, integrity, wisdom, creativity and dedication to improving the overall health care status of the community. The highlight of membership is an invitation to an annual luncheon with the Chairman of the Board of Ascension DePaul Foundation New Orleans to hear about the latest developments and their role in supporting the legacy of the organization. Please contact Monica Sanusi Gele at (504)212-9544 for more information about the Hotel Dieu Legacy Society.
Life Insurance
If you'd like to play an important part in supporting us but feel now is not the time, you may be surprised to learn how life insurance can help fulfill your philanthropic goals and ease your financial concerns. Many individuals name Ascension DePaul Foundation New Orleans as the sole beneficiary or one of the beneficiaries of a life insurance policy. The Foundation would receive the benefit at the time of death of the donor.
The Foudation also highly recommends that you consult with financial advisor while considering your estate plans. For your information, brief descriptions of planned giving vehicles are offered below.
