Naming a beneficiary in your retirement account, life insurance policy or donor-advised fund is a simple way to make a lasting impact, which may provide added tax benefits.

To designate Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation as a beneficiary, request a form from your policy administrator, complete it and notify us.

Life Income Gifts

Life income gifts, including charitable remainder trusts, allow you to support Children’s Colorado while providing income for yourself or a loved one.

These gifts can offer immediate tax benefits and lifetime payments. They may reduce capital gains taxes if funded with appreciated assets.

You can donate these items as well as business interests and other non-cash assets to Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation. This allows you to make a meaningful impact while potentially minimizing capital gains taxes.

You can direct current grants from your donor-advised fund (DAF) during your lifetime and involve your children to continue your giving legacy. Additionally, you can name Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation as a beneficiary of your DAF to further extend your impact.
