As 2025 comes to a close, we are grateful for the generosity and community spirit that have made compassionate care possible for so many families. Every gift—large or small—has helped families find peace, comfort, and support at life’s most tender moments.

Looking ahead, there are meaningful ways for both longtime friends and new supporters to be part of this mission. Your support ensures that patients and families across Eagle, Garfield, and Pitkin counties continue to receive care rooted in the community.

There are also several tax-friendly ways to give that not only sustain this work but can also align with your year-end financial planning. These options allow your generosity to create lasting impact for local families while offering potential tax advantages.

1. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from IRAs
   For those age 70½ or older, giving directly from your IRA through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a simple way to make a lasting difference. These gifts can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution and help ensure compassionate care is available to neighbors at the end of life.
2. Gifts of Stock or Annuities
   Donating appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual funds allows you to put more of your resources to work for local families. By giving securities, you help sustain hospice and home care while stewarding your own assets. 
3. Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs)
   If you have a donor-advised fund, you can recommend a grant to HCHOTV at any time. This is a meaningful way to ensure your values are reflected in your giving, strengthening care for families across the valley.
4. Bequests in Your Will or Trust
   Including HCHOTV in your estate plans is one of the most powerful ways to leave a legacy. A bequest in your will or trust ensures future generations receive the same compassionate care and support, continuing a tradition of neighbors caring for neighbors.
5. Naming HCHOTV as a Beneficiary
   You can also create impact simply by naming HCHOTV as a beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, or investment account. This small step today can provide profound comfort and care for families tomorrow.

A Legacy of Care and Comfort

When you choose to support HCHOTV, you’re not just making a financial decision—you’re helping ensure that families throughout our community can live fully, stay connected, and be surrounded with compassion at life’s most tender moments.

As you finalize your year-end giving plans, we invite you to consider a donation to support Homecare & Hospice of the Valley. Together, we can honor lives, strengthen community, and extend the gift of comfort and dignity to every patient and family we serve.

If you’d like more information about any of these giving options, please contact us at info@hchotv.org or call (970)930-6015. We would be honored to help you explore the approach that’s right for you.
