When you include Fox Chase Cancer Center in your estate plan, your generosity reinforces our commitment to reducing the burden of cancer and discovering new, more effective ways to care for our patients. A planned gift can help you meet your philanthropic goals and extend your generosity well into the future. Depending on the type of gift, it can also protect your assets, provide for your family, and provide guaranteed income for life.
The Impact of a Planned Gift
Planned Gifts help Fox Chase advance the groundbreaking cancer research and patient care. These gifts support:
- Breakthrough cancer research and clinical trials
- Development of new therapies and treatments
- Patient care programs and social work services
- Recruitment of world-class physicians and scientists
- Training of the next generation of cancer researchers and clinicians
Planned Gifts also offer donors the opportunity to make a more significant impact than may be possible during their lifetime. In some cases, they may provide financial and tax advantages, including lifetime income for you or your loved ones.
Most importantly, Planned Gifts allow you to create a meaningful, legacy that reflects your values and commitment to improving the lives of patients and families facing cancer.
