Create a Lasting Legacy

In 2011, the Academy launched the "Shaping the Future" campaign to support the following initiatives:

  • bridging the imminent workforce gap
  • providing education for both specialists and generalists
  • supporting advocacy efforts to advance the best interests of our field

More than $1 million was raised through individual pledges and one-time gifts.

By donating to the AAHPM Innovation Fund, your gift can help sustain the Academy's policy, education and workforce efforts and support continued advancements in the field related to these strategic areas. Supported projects are at the discretion of the Academy Board.

Make a Commitment for Generations to Come

Gifts of Appreciated Assets

Gifts of appreciated stocks, securities or real estate can provide you with tax benefits while offering support for AAHPM.

Life Insurance/Retirement Plans

Individuals can name AAHPM as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. A fully paid whole life policy provides AAHPM with an immediate payout, while the donor benefits from a charitable income tax deduction. Similarly, AAHPM can be named as a beneficiary for tax deferred retirement plans.

Wills and Bequests

Including AAHPM in your will is an easy option for leaving a legacy, such as specific assets or a percentage of your remaining estate after other bequests and taxes have been paid.

Charitable Trusts

Charitable gift annuities or trusts can provide you with income for a number of years, after which the remaining assets will be used to benefit AAHPM. This can be part of your retirement planning, while providing an income tax deduction, savings on estate taxes and may even be used to protect an asset that may be subject to capital gains taxes.
