Somerset
County is one of the five wealthiest counties in the
United States. Yet in Somerset County, over 30,000
are medically uninsured. Even more remain
underinsured. Additionally the cost of healthcare is
rising much
faster than people's wages. Thus the demand for
affordable, high quality
healthcare, and the services Women's Health &
Counseling Center (WHCC)
provides are even more critical to the community.
A
donation to WHCC will help provide medical and
preventive care, health education, and sexual
assault support services to over 10,000 individuals
annually.
-
$25
can support one counseling session for a sexual
assault survivor
-
$50
can support 3 annual basic cervical cancer
screenings
-
$100
can support 5 cholesterol screenings
-
$325
can support a full day of health education at a
local high school reaching approximately 270
students
Your gift
WILL make a healthy difference in the community.

There are several types of planned giving which would
allow you to make donations to Women's Health & Counseling Center
while generating tax or estate benefits:
-
Appreciated Assets: Gifts of assets that have increased in value (e.g. stocks and real estate) may allow you to save on both income and capital gains taxes.
-
Charitable Trusts: With amounts over $100,000, two types of larger gift trusts, Lead and Remainder, offer tax and estate planning advantages.
-
Gift Annuities: Purchasing these allows you to provide for your and/or your family's future while making a significant gift to WHCC. Other benefits include stability (not subject to market fluctuation), variety (cash, appreciated stock or other assets) and tax deductions.
-
Bequests: You can include WHCC in your will as either a specific bequest or as last contingent beneficiary. This is the simplest planned gift but might also have positive estate ramifications.
For more
information on how to contribute through planning
giving, please email
Frances Palm,
Executive Director or call
