United Way Donor Choice

Please consider The Hickman for your donor choice gifts!

Many United Way organizations allow donors the flexibility and discretion to direct their gifts to specific charitable organizations. When you select The Hickman, you have the added benefit of participating in the United Way Campaign while supporting our people and programs.

It is easy! Simply ask your workplace campaign representative for Donor Choice information and complete the necessary designation forms. It is especially helpful if you send a copy to the Development Office (400 N. Walnut Street, West Chester, PA, 19380) for our records.

If you participate in the United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania Campaign, our Donor Choice number is #10572. We will be listed by our full name – The Hickman Friends Senior Community of West Chester.

Securities

Contributions of long-term appreciated securities give you double benefits: a charitable deduction for the full present fair market value, and no tax on the appreciation. Should the securities you wish to contribute have a loss, consider selling them and donating the proceeds which will allow you to recognize the loss deduction. In either case, please consult your tax or financial advisor to be sure you are making the wisest selection.

Tangible Personal Property or Gifts-in-Kind

Art objects, antiques and other in-kind gifts are tangible personal property and are accepted on a case by case basis in consultation with the Development Director. Their value as a tax deduction will be based upon IRS regulations.

Real Estate

Whether your property has increased or decreased in value, it can be given with substantial benefit to both the donor and The Hickman. There are many ways to make a gift of property including an outright gift, a retained life estate, making a bargain sale, gifting property by will, or using property to fund a charitable remainder trust. These gifts are accepted on a case by case basis in consultation with the Development Director and your financial advisor.

Life Insurance Policies

The gift of a life insurance policy is an ideal way to fulfill your charitable desires. A gift of life insurance does not reduce your income, and you may receive significant income tax reductions. There are several options for making such a gift.

Immediate contributions of cash or assets are the most direct way to Support the mission of The Hickman.
