Leave a Legacy to Change Lives
The NeoNatal transport team has the latest technologies for safely transporting newborns thanks to a legacy gift. A donor impacted by the outstanding care of this team wanted to ensure the most innovative care was always within our region. This is the impact a legacy gift can create! If you are interested in making a gift that will change, save and empower lives, contact the CoxHealth Foundation for more information. Your gift may also provide charitable income tax deductions or other tax benefits! Call Lisa Alexander at 417-269-7109 or [email protected]

Donor-advised Funds
Similar to a charitable investing account, a donor-advised fund, or DAF, is used exclusively to support causes that are important to you. Many parents find that a DAF is a useful tool that can encourage philanthropy by allowing their children to recommend future gifts to non-profits from the DAF. Learn more about DAF here.
If you have a donor-advised fund, please consider making a grant recommendation to CoxHealth Foundation. Your gift will support world-care class health care in the Ozarks and help us support emerging health care needs for our communities.

Donating Stock Gifts
Giving stock is easy and a great tax savings if your stock has appreciated over time. Call us at 417 269-7051 for more information.
Gift of Assets
Examples of this include your house, a vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch, or commercial property. It can also include gifts of vehicles, boats or valuable art. Ask us about our seamless car donation program. Call us at 417 269-7051 for more information.

Gift of Life Insurance
Did you know that you could give your life insurance policy to CoxHealth Foundation today and receive a charitable income tax deduction? You can purchase a new policy or donate a policy that you currently own but no longer need by making the Foundation your beneficiary.
IRA Charitable Roll Over
If you are 70½ or older you may also be interested in a way to lower your income and taxes with a Qualified IRA Charitable Distribution.

Bequests and Endowed Gifts
You can name CoxHealth Foundation as a beneficiary in your will in many different ways. You can designate a dollar amount or a percentage of your estate. You can also use your will or trust to create an endowed fund after you pass away. Because we are not spending the principal amount of your gift, an endowed gift has the ability to benefit the Foundation for many years and it enables you to leave a lasting legacy.
