"Scotia Village is a dream come true and a prayer answered. I am very thankful, and I think this is a great gift to my children."

- Sybile Dulin

The Scotia Village Foundation, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and is a part of The Presbyterian Homes, Inc. The Foundation exists to provide financial assistance to Scotia Village residents in need and, on occasion, to provide special equipment and services to enhance our residents’ lives. You can help build our Foundation’s resources through different kinds of gifts:

Gifts of Cash, In Honor or In Memory
Cash is often the most convenient form of giving. Cash gifts are deductible for federal income tax purposes, assuming deductions are itemized. Cash gifts in honor or in memory of loved ones are great ways to honor someone special or to remember someone who has passed.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities
Gifts of appreciated securities may be made as outright gifts or to pay for a pledge. Stock certificates may be reassigned directly to The Scotia Village Foundation or may be transferred through your broker. The mean market value on the date of transfer determines the value of the gift for tax purposes. Capital gains tax is not due when the stock is transferred to the Foundation. Please contact Marcia Johnston, Director of Development and Public Relations, by phone at (336) 886-6553, ext. 5118 or by email, before a transfer is made.

Bequests
Through their wills, donors can give the Foundation money, property, or a share of estate residue. A bequest can either be outright or contingent upon the death of a family member. Sometimes donors who need their assets during their lifetimes can leave bequests for the Foundation.

Make The Scotia Village Foundation a Beneficiary of Your Life Insurance Policy – This is an ideal way to fulfill your charitable desires and requires no out-of-pocket expense to you. To change the beneficiary of your life insurance policy, secure a change of beneficiary form from your agent and include The Scotia Village Foundation, Inc., as a beneficiary of the death benefit.

Make The Scotia Village Foundation a Beneficiary of Your Retirement Plan - Making The Scotia Village Foundation, Inc., a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(K), or 403(B) account is easy. Simply contact your plan administrator to add the Foundation’s name to the beneficiary form. They will mail the form to you, on which you can write the official name of, “The Scotia Village Foundation, Inc.” Then return the form to the plan administrator.

Charitable Gift Annuities
A donor can increase his or her monthly income and receive an immediate tax deduction by participating in a charitable gift annuity. The charitable portion of your gift will go to the Scotia Village Foundation generally within 90 days of completing the gift annuity.

Thank you – Please let us know when you have added The Scotia Village Foundation, Inc., in your estate plans, as we would like to honor you during your lifetime. When you identify yourself, you encourage others to think of ways they can help grow the Foundation for the benefit of our residents.
