WITH TAX TIME AROUND THE CORNER, THERE’S A WAY TO REAP BENEFITS OF GIVING

It’s not too late to cash in on tax savings for 2014!  Consider making a tax-effective, high impact gift to Trinitas Health Foundation.

You can qualify for your tax deduction with a gift today or by creating a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA) that can earn high-interest income for life (and for a second beneficiary, if you  c  h o  o s e ).  Through a CGA established with cash, stocks or bonds, you will enjoy an immediate and a long-term tax benefit.  If you make a gift of appreciated property, you will only pay capital gains tax on part of the appreciation (which will be spread out over years if you are the annuitant).

Wondering what your tax deduction and annual high-interest income might be from a CGA? Call Andi Koenig-Feldman at (908) 994-8249 to find out today.

A SOLID INVESTMENT

Bank of America continues its support of the Trinitas Health Careers Exploration Program through a $15,000 grant. The bank has made an investment in thousands of young people in Elizabeth and other Union County communities.  The ROI?: Thousands of students given the opportunity to explore career opportunities. More than a few successful doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals got their start through this program. Goreti M. Muñoz of Bank of America (center) proudly presented the check representing the Bank’s latest grant to (from left), Lisa Liss, Director of Volunteer Services, Eileen Mulroy, Coordinator of Health Occupations at Trinitas, Nadine Brechner, Chief Development Officer and Vice President, Trinitas Health Foundation, and Jasmine Jones and Kristian Adap, students at Union County Vocational Technical High School who are recent participants in the Health Careers Exploration Program.
