The Heritage Society of The Philadelphia Protestant
Home
The Heritage Society was established in 1992. The name
reflects our appreciation and admiration for those who
had the vision to launch PPh. And it is this ongoing
vision for the future that marks those who belong to
The Heritage Society today.
Membership in the Society recognizes individuals who
have made a deferred gift, such as a charitable gift
annuity, a bequest through their will, life insurance
or other gift which is made by a donor during his or
her life and received by the Home after the donor’s
death.
Members of The Heritage Society are truly exceptional.
Their commitment is helping shape the future of services
for residents of The Philadelphia Protestant Home.
If you have already included The Philadelphia Protestant
Home in your will or other planned gift, we hope you
will let us know so that we can recognize you during
your lifetime. Each new member is presented with a certificate
of appreciation, a Heritage Society pin and a recognition
gift at a luncheon for our members held in October of
each year.

Bequests
You may be saying, “I wish I could do more.”
Gifts through your will can be of a particular item,
dollar amount or a percentage of your estate are just
an example of how to carry out your wish. The federal
estate tax can take approximately 40% to 50% of one’s
estate at the time of death.
To include PPh in your will, the following is sample
bequest language:
“I give, devise, and bequeath $_______ (sum of
money), or ______% (percentage) of my estate, or all
the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate to The
Philadelphia Protestant Home, located at 6500 Tabor
Road, Philadelphia, PA.

Charitable Gift Annuities
Income for Life for You… Benefit for the Future
of PPh!
Our charitable gift annuity program was created as
a service to our many friends who have expressed a desire
to make a gift of significance, while still retaining
income from the gift property during their lives.
A charitable gift annuity is a contract in which you
exchange a gift of cash or securities for a guaranteed,
fixed income each year for the rest of your life! It
is truly a win-win situation for you and The Philadelphia
Protestant Home.
Gift annuity rates are determined by the age of the
person or persons who receive the income payments. The
current rate for a person 80 years of age is 8.0%, 83
years of age is 8.8% and 87 years of age is 10.2%.
For a personalized illustration of what a gift annuity
might do for you, call our Development Office at 215-697-8568

Life Insurance: The Forgotten
Gift?
Do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need?
Perhaps your other assets have grown to provide the
protection you require, and the insurance policy lies
forgotten in a safety deposit box. Did you know that
the policy could make a wonderful charitable gift to
The Philadelphia Protestant Home?
If you have insurance you may like to contribute, or
if you are currently paying premiums on a policy and
want to discover how this policy might work as a gift,
You can name The Philadelphia Protestant Home the beneficiary
of your life insurance, or a co-beneficiary. Oftentimes,
these are old policies that you find you no longer need.
