Three Things About Old Faithful
When you visit Yellowstone National Park you will eventually find yourself standing with the crowds to see the eruption of the world's most famous geyser: Old Faithful. There are many geysers throughout the park, but there's only one Old Faithful. It's a sight to behold and something you wouldn't want to miss.
As you stand there watching this natural wonder, you may find yourself making the following observations:
1. Old Faithful is perpetual. Year after year, decade after decade, century after century it just keeps right on spouting. It's persistent, unending, ceaseless. You can count on Old Faithful!
A Family Endowment with the Rocky Mountain Adventist Healthcare Foundation or with one of it’s specific healthcare facilities is not unlike Old Faithful. These ongoing funds faithfully provide income year after year after year. We can count on them!
2. Old Faithful is predictable. When you arrive at the scene, you will find signs announcing the next eruption. And sure enough, the "payout" happens pretty much on time. In fact, tourists check their watches and begin moving toward the viewing area a few minutes before "blast-off."
Endowment Funds are predictable, too. Every year, at appointed times, we receive a supply of income to help fund our various programs. This regularity enables us to plan and expand for the future.
3. Old Faithful is popular. There are many sights in the park to see, but it's Old Faithful that draws the big crowds. Tour buses and cars of every description jam the parking lots. Numerous shops and facilities accommodate the gawking masses.
You can create your own "geyser" by launching an endowment Fund in your Family’s name. It will perpetually and predictably provide funds for future needs and impact, changing lives forever - and thanks to you, it will be a popular source of ongoing support for generations to come.
Perhaps "old faithful' will come from your estate plans, ensuring our strong presence in the community. We even have opportunities to leverage your gift now and take advantage of the estate tax laws to maximize your gift for your family’s needs.
