In honor of Casey House’s 25th Anniversary, the Eugene B. Casey Foundation has announced a $1,000,000 1:1 matching pledge challenge for the Casey House Endowment for Nursing and Nursing Aides. For every dollar raised, they will match up to $1,000,000!

Each year, hundreds of patients and their loved ones receive compassionate and expert care provided by a dedicated and mission-driven team at Casey House. Proceeds from this endowment will help us to retain and hire the best nurses and nursing aides, who are at the heart of the compassionate and expert care provided to our patients.

At the end of every staff meeting, Ann is known to conclude with the words “take good care.” To honor her legacy, The Take Good Care Fund was created. Proceeds will be earmarked for staff-related initiatives.

Donations of appreciated stocks and securities are a great option for making a donation. If you have owned stock for at least one year, you are entitled to a tax deduction of the fair market value of the stock on the date of transfer and may also be entitled to capital gains relief.

Making a gift of stock or appreciated securities directly to Montgomery Hospice and Prince George’s Hospice offers advantages to you. First, you will receive the satisfaction of knowing that you have made an investment in an organization that provides compassionate care and support to those who are approaching the end of life. Secondly, you will receive a charitable gift deduction and may also receive capital gains relief.

If you have owned stock for a period of time that has seen a lot of growth and you wish to sell it, you will have to pay capital gains taxes on the difference between the purchase price and selling price. Donating the stock directly to Montgomery Hospice and Prince George’s Hospice will provide you with a tax deduction based on the fair market value of the security (an average of the high and low price of the stock on the day it is donated). Making a direct donation of the stock also saves you the capital gains tax you would have incurred by selling it yourself.
