PLANNED GIVING
Life Savings, Saving
Lives helps donors
create a legacy at Baylor
Life Savings, Saving Lives is the
tagline for Baylor Health Care System
Foundation’s Gift Planning program.
We work with individuals interested in
making planned gifts – donations that
require more thought and planning to
execute. Planned gifts can take many
forms: simple bequests in a will or
trust, gifts from retirement assets and
IRAs, insurance proceeds, charitable
gif t annuities and charitable
remainder trusts. They can also
involve current gifts from non-cash
assets like securities, real estate,
closely-held businesses and
charitable IRA rollovers.
