There are many ways that friends of The Philadelphia Protestant Home choose to make a gift. Careful planning ensures that your objectives are met. The information below provides an overview of some of the most common ways to make a gift.
- Cash or check – The most common way to make a gift is by giving cash or writing a check. This type of gift provides immediate flexibility for PPh and generates a charitable income tax deduction for the donor in the year of the gift. Please make checks payable to “The Philadelphia Protestant Home.”
- Stocks or Bonds – If you have owned securites for more than one year and the fair market value has increased since you purchased them, you can avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable tax deduction equal to the fair market value.
- Real Estate – A gift of real estate that has been held for more than one year also has the advantage of providing you with a charitable deduction based on the current fair market value, as well as bypassing capital gains tax on the appreciation.

Benevolent Care Fund

This is a special fund for our residents who have exhausted their own financial resources. We want those residents to remain here at PPh, and be well-provided for, and our benevolent care fund makes that a possibility.
