Planning for Rush’s Future… And Yours

For almost 40 years, Rush University Medical Center in Chicago has made it a priority to work with donors to devise planned giving strategies that are mutually beneficial. Rush benefits through gifts that fund student scholarships, endowed chairs, improved facilities, research and patient care while our donors enjoy the opportunity to both maximize their intentions for Rush and provide a nest egg for their future and the future of their family.

Planned giving can:

• Provide income for life
• Reduce or eliminate capital gains taxes
• Generate a charitable income tax deduction
• Reduce or eliminate gift and estate taxes
• Allow you to make a significant impact on the future of Rush University Medical Center.

These pages (use the “Topic Index” on the right) will provide you with useful tools and general information to help determine whether planned giving is right for you. We invite you to discover the tremendous impact your planned gift can have on the Medical Center and our patients.

For more information about planned giving, please contact Vicki Woodward at (312) 942-6954 or vicki_j_woodward@rush.edu.
