Beneficiary Designations

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.

Real Estate, Stock, Artwork and other Non-Cash 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.

IRA Charitable Distribution

If you are age 70½ or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your retirement plan or IRA to Children’s Colorado – up to $105,000 – and potentially lower your taxes. If you are age 73 or older, the QCD can also satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
