The
Heritage Society of The Philadelphia Protestant Home
was established in 1992. The name reflects our appreciation
and admiration for those who had the vision to launch
PPh. 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 established in your will can be a particular item,
specific dollar amount, or a percentage of your estate.
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 7.6%, 83
years of age is 8.3% and 87 years of age is 9.5%. You
may also defer payment until a later date.

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.
For
more information, call our Fund Development Office at
215-697-8568 or e-mail to dnawn@pphfamily.org.
