August is National Make Your Will Month, and it’s the perfect time to reflect on how you can shape the future—both for your loved ones and for causes close to your heart. One powerful way to do that is through non-cash giving.
At the NCCHC Foundation, we believe in the power of legacy. By including a gift to the Foundation in your will or estate plan, you help create a sustainable future for correctional health care. Your support provides scholarships, training, and leadership development for the next generation of dedicated professionals—ensuring quality care continues behind the walls for years to come.
Planned giving doesn’t require a large estate. Many people make a lasting difference with a non-cash gift.
What Is Non-Cash Giving?
Non-cash giving includes gifts such as:
- A bequest in your will or trust
- Naming the NCCHC Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement account, life insurance policy, or donor-advised fund
- Gifts of stocks, bonds, or real estate
- Charitable IRA distributions (for those aged 70½+)
These types of gifts offer significant tax benefits, don’t affect your day-to-day finances, and leave a meaningful impact on future generations.
Why Now?
Make Your Will Month is a national reminder that estate planning is not just for the wealthy — it’s for everyone. By taking simple steps today, you can:
- Protect your family
- Ensure your wishes are honored
- Support the causes you care about, like improving correctional health care
