The older you are, the higher the recommended payout. Your gift annuity is backed by the full faith and assets of the Anne Arundel Medical Center Foundation. Part of your payouts will be tax-free, plus you will be eligible for an immediate charitable income tax deduction for the year of the gift.

When you establish a gift annuity, you will be recognized by the AAMC Heritage Society. The Society honors all who include the AAMC Foundation in their plans through a planned gift, such as a bequest provision in a will or trust, a beneficiary designation on a life insurance policy, IRA, 401(k), 403(b), 457(b) or other qualified retirement plan.

For information and a personalized gift annuity illustration, contact Bob Harrison at the AAMC Foundation, 443-481-4745 or rharrison@aahs.org.

March of Dimes Community Grant

The AAMC Women’s Education Department has been awarded a $17,000 community grant by the March of Dimes to continue Comenzando Bien (Healthy Beginnings), a women’s bilingual prenatal and parenting education program, offered in partnership between AAMC and Anne Arundel County. Classes are held at the Anne Arundel County Health Departments in Annapolis and Glen Burnie, and also are taught at the Centro de Ayuda (Center for Help), at 1906 Forest Drive in Annapolis. Comenzando Bien was established locally in 2006 by AAMC, aided by a $25,000 March of Dimes grant, to educate uninsured Hispanic women. AAMC provides instructors and interpreters for these classes.
