Planned Giving

Retirement Assets

By leaving the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement accounts, you can leave a wonderful legacy to help change the outcome for our patients and their families. Determining the right plan for you depends on a number of factors including your age, income needs and financial objectives.

Benefits of Gifting Retirement Assets:

  • Avoiding income tax; the income of the retirement asset will be taxed at the income tax rate of your beneficiaries
  • Reducing or avoiding federal estate taxation
  • Avoiding state inheritance tax (varies by state)
  • The ability to name the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Foundation as a secondary beneficiary, leaving the bulk of your assets to your family

Recognition

The William Cooper Procter Society recognizes and honors friends of Cincinnati Children's who inform us of their intention to invest in the future of the medical center through planned or deferred gift arrangements.
