  Walla Walla Community Hospice is a non-profit health care agency and is therefore dependent upon contributions from our friends in the community. There are a number of ways that you can give to Walla Walla Community Hospice.  
     
  Gifts of Cash  
  The most common method of giving to WWCH is through a check payable to Walla Walla Community Hospice.  Your gift can be given in memory of a loved one or friend.  You may direct it to a specific WWCH program or leave it unrestricted which allows WWCH to use your gift where it is needed most.  All cash gifts are tax deductible.  
     
  Gift by Will  
  One of the simplest ways to distribute your estate is through a will.  After providing for you loved ones you can make a charitable bequest to WWCH of a specified dollar amount, specific property, or a percentage of your estate.  
     
  Gift in Trust or Annuities  
  A trust or annuity can provide tax advantages and a lifetime income for you depending upon the terms of the agreement:  
     
 

Gift of Life Insurance  

 
  A gift of life insurance offers an opportunity to make a substantial contribution to WWCH that you might otherwise be unable to make.  If a paid up life insurance policy is no longer needed for family protection, you can give it to WWCH, and you, as the donor, may qualify for an immediate tax deduction.  If you continue to pay the premiums on a policy after naming WWCH as the policy beneficiary, those payments may be deductible as charitable contributions.  
     
 

Gift of Real Estate

 
  You can make a gift of a house or other real property, outright, or in trust (perhaps while retaining the use of the property for as long as you live).  Your gift may allow you to realize a tax deduction and avoid capital gains taxes.  All gifts of real property, however, must be accepted by the Board of Directors to protect WWCH from liabilities.  
     
 

Gift to a Foundation

 
  An endowment fund is established at Blue Mountain Community Foundation  (BMCF) which provides an interest income annually to WWCH.  Donations of any size can be made to this account either directly to BMCF or through WWCH.  Individual foundation accounts can also be set up with most financial institutions for specific puposes or as a special memorial.  
     
 

Gifts in Kind

 
  Gifts of personal property can provide a tax deduction for you while benefiting WWCH.  Gifts of this nature may include medical and office equipment and other items of value.
