Ways to Give

Your donation provides personalized patient care and offers families the peace of mind that accompanies compassionate support.

Your gifts give comfort to families in your community.

Every day, we are inspired by the stories of those entrusted to our care. Below you can learn more about different ways you can give and the impact your gifts have on members of your community.

Smart Giving: Stocks, DAFs, IRA Giving, and Crypto

Many donors are opting for smarter, non-cash giving options that support the hospice mission while also providing tax benefits. Explore our smarter giving options with tools powered by our partners at FreeWill, including:

Stocks and Securities

A stock donation may provide more benefits than a cash gift. Our partnership with FreeWill makes this process smoother than ever.

Donor-Advised Funds

You can now easily make a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund on our website. Using this free tool, you can link your DAF to Trellis Supportive Care and recommend how you'd like your gift to be used.

Gifts by IRA

If you are 70 1/2 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income. This tool allows you to autocompete your paperwork and give from your IRA quickly, easily, and safely.

Cryptocurrency

Trellis Supportive Care works with FreeWill so you can easily donate "digital assets" like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Visit our cryptocurrency page to learn more and make a donation.

Planned Giving

Regardless of the amount, a planned gift has the power to change lives for generations to come.

We would be honored to be included in your long-range plans. A planned gift can enhance your own financial well-being while making a difference for those we serve.

Gift planning possibilities include:

A bequest to Trellis Supportive Care in your existing will or living trust
Naming Trellis Supportive Care as a beneficiary on your life insurance policy, retirement plan, or IRA
A donor-advised fund with your community foundation
A charitable remainder trust, which may benefit you, your family and friends, and Trellis Supportive Care

To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes. You can use this resource on its own, or use it to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.

To discuss planned giving options, please contact Shannon Neal at 336-331-1322 or email at SNeal@trellissupport.org.
