For nearly 100 years, Hillside has been a place where compassion takes root, justice takes shape, and community is built across generations. Planned giving is one way to ensure that this work of love continues well beyond our lifetimes.
When you include Hillside in your estate plans, you are planting seeds of faith, hope, and justice for those who will come after us.
What Is Planned Giving?
Planned giving is simply the act of arranging a future gift to Hillside—through your will, trust, retirement account, or life insurance policy. Unlike regular giving, which supports today’s ministry, planned giving strengthens Hillside’s future.
Some common options include:
-
Bequests in a Will or Trust – A gift of cash, property, or a percentage of your estate.
-
Beneficiary Designations – Naming Hillside as a beneficiary of a retirement plan, IRA, or life insurance policy.
-
Charitable Trusts or Gift Annuities – Structured gifts that can provide income for you or your family while also supporting Hillside.
Why It Matters
Planned gifts ensure Hillside can continue to:
-
Nurture worship that is thoughtful, inclusive, and creative.
-
Support ministries of justice and mercy in Medford and beyond.
-
Care for future generations who will need a spiritual home of welcome and belonging.
Every gift—no matter the size—becomes part of Hillside’s living legacy of love.
