consider making a planned gift
A planned gift is a type of charitable gift that often allows you to provide a larger gift to West Side Ecumenical Ministry (WSEM) than you ever thought possible and at the same time provides you with real financial advantages. The best planned gifts require deciding what your financial goals are and determining how to accomplish them, usually with the help of your financial advisor. You may fund your gift with cash or other assets.
Benefits of a planned gift
- Maximizes your charitable contribution.
- Allows advantageous tax deductions under both state and federal law.
- Transforms appreciated assets into income for yourself and/or other family members.
- Increases your current income.
Different types of planned gifts can be made to benefit WSEM. They may include:
