WNC Foundation
An individual annual gift has a tax advantage for donors who itemize their deductions and can address a variety of the college's needs.
This type of gift has both tax benefits and long term benefits for the college. You'll get a double income benefit by giving long-term appreciated securities and real estate rather than selling them to give an equal amount in cash.
Initially, you'll receive a deduction for the full present fair market value of the gift. Then, you're allowed a complete avoidance of the capital gains tax on the appreciation.
Numerous companies have already contributed equipment and facilities as well as cash to WNC. Participating companies may also pledge annual amounts to the college in general, or to the specific department of their choice.
You may now make a charitable gift of life insurance for the cash surrender value of the policy and the current premiums. The insurance donor receives the same basic tax benefits as other donors contributing to WNC. Donors can also choose to simply leave us in their will.
Many people would like to help WNC with a gift of real property or securities, but need the income that it generates.
The Federal Tax Reform Act of 1969 makes it possible for a person to give property to WNC and retain the income from the property for life. Deferred giving programs, such as the uni-trust, annuity trust and pooled income fund, provide flexible, immediate tax saving and present income.
Employees of WNC can contribute to the WNC Foundation directly out of their paychecks. For more information, download the Employee Giving Form.
