Gifts of securities can confer tax benefits
As an example, contributions of appreciated securities held for over a year are generally deductible at market value, regardless of what the donor paid for them; moreover, the capital gains tax is avoided through such a gift.
Payroll Deduction
Westmont faculty and staff can use convenient payroll deduction to make recurring gifts.
To support Westmont’s operating budget, 2.5% of cash gifts (one time or cumulative in a fiscal year) will cover a nominal administrative fee reflecting the college’s low overhead. Gifts to the annual fund and the endowment are excluded from this general practice. If you have any questions, please contact giving@xiaoshusoft.com or (805) 565-7073.
