Planned Giving Book: Vitalant Foundation

The Power of Legacy Gifts

For over 80 years, Vitalant has been saving lives by providing essential blood products to hospitals for critical treatments. Legacy gifts to Vitalant Foundation help secure the future of the national blood supply and ensure lifesaving work continues for generations. Legacy giving is a tax-exempt donation to a nonprofit organization that supports long-term goals and values. It includes providing blood products to hospitals, hosting blood drives, diversifying the blood donor base, and advancing blood science research. Legacy giving offers financial and tax advantages while making an extraordinary impact on vital healthcare services.

Legacy Giving Opportunities

Vitalant Foundation offers various legacy giving opportunities with unique donor benefits. One such option is gifts of appreciated securities, where donors can avoid income tax and reduce capital gains taxes by donating securities held for more than a year. These gifts can be made during a donor's lifetime or after through a Transfer on Death designation. By exploring estate planning conversations with Vitalant Foundation, donors can create a lifesaving legacy and receive assistance in the process.
