Planned gifts, also known as deferred gifts, are those made through estate planning. In most cases, their value passes on to MUSC Children’s Health after a specified period of time or after the donor’s death. These gifts may consist of bequests, gift annuities or charitable remainder trusts, to name a few.
The Darby Legacy Society
The Darby Legacy Society consists of people who have made a gift to the Children’s Hospital through their estate plans. Members of this honorary group have included us in their wills, charitable trusts, charitable annuities, life insurance policies or other planned gift arrangements.
With a planned gift, you commit to make the gift today, but the gift does not actually pass to the hospital until the end of your life. That way, you are able to make a larger contribution than would be possible during your lifetime.
