Four Ways to Give Smarter in 2025 — and Support the NCCHC Foundation

When it comes to charitable giving, many people think of writing a check or making a one-time donation online. But there are smarter, more strategic ways to give—options that maximize your impact while also offering financial benefits. Whether you’re looking to reduce your tax burden, build a legacy, or make your generosity go further, here are four powerful ways to support the NCCHC Foundation in 2025.

Give from Your Investments

Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds can be a tax-savvy way to support the NCCHC Foundation. Instead of selling investments and paying capital gains taxes, you can contribute the securities directly to the Foundation. This allows you to avoid the tax hit and potentially receive a charitable deduction for the full market value—while helping advance research, education, scholarships, and reentry support in correctional health care.

Name the NCCHC Foundation as a Beneficiary

A simple yet lasting way to give is by naming the NCCHC Foundation as a beneficiary of your retirement accounts, life insurance policies, or donor-advised fund. This option lets you make a future impact with assets you may not need during your lifetime—without affecting your current finances. You can even designate the Foundation as a contingent beneficiary, ensuring your commitment to improving health care in correctional settings lives on, while keeping family priorities first.

Turn Real Assets into Impact

Real estate, land, or valuable personal property can become meaningful gifts. By donating such assets to the NCCHC Foundation, you help convert tangible resources into enduring support for correctional health care initiatives. Some donors even use tools like charitable remainder trusts to generate income for themselves first, before passing the asset on to benefit the Foundation’s mission.

Support a Mission & Secure Your Future

Planned giving vehicles—such as charitable gift annuities or trusts—allow you to support the NCCHC Foundation while ensuring financial stability for yourself or a loved one. These arrangements provide regular income for a set term or lifetime, with the remainder going to the Foundation. It’s a win-win: you support a healthier future for incarcerated individuals while taking care of your own needs.
