Ways to Give

RESTRICTED & UNRESTRICTED GIFTS
Gifts of any size may be designated for a specific campaign goal or may
be unrestricted. Unrestricted gifts are particularly valuable because they
give WCQS the timely flexibility to allocate funds where they are most
needed.

PLEDGES
Pledges to the campaign can be paid over a period of time. The payment schedule is flexible and can be tailored to suit your preference. Installment pledges can be paid via check, credit or debit cards. We are encouraging our supporters to consider large gifts to the campaign that can be paid in small installments over a 3-to-5 year period.

SECURITIES
Donors may realize substantial tax advantages by transferring gifts of appreciated stock to WCQS. In these cases, capital gains on the amount of appreciation may be avoided and the donor may receive a tax deduction for the stock's full-market value.

REAL ESTATE
Gifts of real estate can result in sizable gifts to the campaign while the donor can realize substantial capital gains savings on the appreciation of the property. The donor also receives an immediate tax deduction based upon the market value of the property.

CAMPAIGN SPECIFIC DONATED SUPPLIES/SERVICES
Donations of supplies and services essential to the campaign and/or the renovation may offer the donor an immediate tax deduction. All gifts-in-kind to the campaign will be credited against the donor's pledge on the basis of their fair market value as provided by the donor. For income tax purposes, the value of the contribution will generally be the actual out-of-pocket costs related to the in-kind contribution. Examples of gifts-in-kind include such things as graphic design and public relations services, construction supplies, labor, etc.

DEFERRED GIFTS & BEQUESTS
Many donors find they can make a more substantial gift through a bequest or deferred gift. Deferred gifts may be trust funds that generate income all or part of which is paid to the donor during his or her lifetime with the principal going to WCQS after the donor's death.

PLEASE NOTE
WCQS can suggest planned gift opportunities and gifts-in-kind, but you should consult your financial advisor about the many forms these gifts may take and the accompanying tax advantages for your individual situation.
