Planned Giving

Consider a planned gift or bequest to benefit the future of wellness on Nantucket. Outright gifts (such as gifts of cash) go to work immediately and are essential to the hospital today. But a gift in the future – through a bequest or life income gift – may allow you to give more and ensure the hospital can continue to be a center of health and wellness for future generations. Some gifts can provide income to you now.
