Friends for Life: Planned Giving

Friends for Life Giving Society

If you’ve already designated Alive in your will, please contact us so we can personally thank you for your exceptional generosity.

With your permission, we’d like to include your name in listings of this important group of donors who have declared their intentions to make a deferred gift. This recognition is incredibly valuable for Alive: Your decision, when made visible to others, may inspire them to do the same.

Planned Giving Options

A planned gift may be as simple as naming Alive as a beneficiary of your will, 401(k), IRA, pension fund, insurance policy, or trust. A bequest is one of the easiest gifts to make: You can include language in your will or trust specifying a gift to Alive as part of your estate plan—a specific dollar amount, percentage of your estate, balance of your estate, or as the beneficiary of certain assets.

Other donors may consider a gift annuity or charitable remainder trust, which provides income or tax benefits to the donor.

You may be interested in a naming opportunity in memory of a loved one. These opportunities can include naming a patient room in our Nashville or Murfreesboro residence, funding a capital improvement, or endowing a fund which—for example—provides for increasing our grief counseling staff to help us better serve the community.

Alive is committed to protecting and preserving your planned gift. Our board and staff have decades of experience in adhering to the highest ethical standards and practicing disciplined financial oversight, ensuring a sustainable business model and resources far into the future. And our commitment to transparency includes providing access to appropriate and accurate information regarding finances, operations, and results.
