Other Giving Considerations

Donating appreciated stock (held more than one year) makes an excellent gift. You avoid all capital gain taxes, and will receive a tax deduction

Anyone at least 70.5 years of age who is receiving mandatory annual distributions from an IRA can avoid tax if you donate directly to Westside and receive a tax deduction as
well!

After providing for your family members, you can make a gift bequest of a dollar amount, specific property, a percentage of the estate, or what is left (remainder) to Westside. Consider a tithe of 10% or perhaps a bit more, offered for the glory of God.
A simple way to make a significant future gift is to name Westside the church as beneficiary to receive all (or a portion) of the proceeds of an existing life insurance policy. You will receive a tax deduction for the cash surrender value, thus reducing your tax liability.
Name the church as Owner and Beneficiary of a new life insurance policy.
Funds from IRA’s or company plans beyond the comfortable support of yourself or loved ones may be given (like life insurance proceeds) to the parish by designating Westside as your official beneficiary.
Gifts of personal property are always welcome, including collections, royalty, and mineral rights. Charitable tax deductions are available in the year of the gift.
