Through an estate or planned gift, you can help ensure a vital future for Ascentria Care Alliance and those we serve. There are several ways to support our clients and programs through your planning:
Will and Living Trust Bequests
- Include Ascentria Care Alliance in your will or living trust.
- You can bequeath a specific dollar amount or a percentage of your estate.
- Your bequest is deductible for federal estate tax purposes to the full extent allowed by law.
Suggested Language: I hereby give, devise and bequeath to Ascentria Care Alliance, a non-profit public benefit corporation located at 11 Shattuck Street, Worcester, MA 01605, _____ percent of my estate (or, the sum of $_____).
Life Insurance Policies and IRAs
- Name Ascentria Care Alliance as the beneficiary of an IRA or insurance policy.
- IRAs usually require some form of tax payment when funds are distributed, but by naming Ascentria Care Alliance as the beneficiary, taxes are avoided since we are a non-profit organization.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
- Establish a charitable remainder trust and provide yourself, or your designated beneficiaries, with an annual income, usually for life, with the remainder of the donated assets benefiting Ascentria Care Alliance at maturity.
- Charitable trusts offer the donor potential gift and estate tax benefits.
Brook Farm Society

- Ascentria recognizes and honors the generosity and vision of planned giving donors through our Brook Farm Society, named after our first program founded in 1871.
