Deferred Gifts

Bequests and life-income plans, allow you to increase your income, earn valuable income-tax deductions and reduce your estate taxes.

Appreciated securities, stocks, and bonds provide considerable tax advantages when transferred to Hospice of Kona before they are sold. One gift of this kind was used to establish an endowment for the organization that continues to grow today.

Gifts of Real Estate (including personal residences, second homes, income property, and vacant land) offer a wide variety of tax and other benefits. Whereas most people give their entire interest away, it is also possible to give only a portion of the property, or an undivided percentage of interest, while retaining the rest.

Matching Gift Programs

The Matching Gift Program sponsored by your company is an easy way to double or even triple your donation to Hospice of Kona. Programs typically match all or a percentage of your employee contributions to charitable organizations, making the employer a partner in employees’ personal philanthropy.
