Donors age 70½ or older may give up to $100,000 directly from an individual retirement account (IRA) to qualified charities without paying federal income tax on the distribution. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) are an excellent way to show your support for Wesleyan and receive a tax benefit in return, and may help fulfill your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) as well.

You can request your QCD be sent directly from your administrator to:

Wesleyan College 
Institutional Advancement
4760 Forsyth Road
Macon, GA  31210-4407

Wesleyan College federal tax ID number: 58-0593438

Please ask your administrator to include your name and the purpose of your gift in the documentation that will arrive with the gift, such as a cover letter or memo line, to ensure your gift will be applied appropriately and properly acknowledged. You can also contact Melissa Klein, Chief Development Officer, at (478) 757-3790 or mklein@wesleyancollege.edu with any pertinent details.

Giving gifts of securities could be a way for you to maximize your gift and avoid taxes on capital gains.

How It Works:

• You transfer appreciated stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares you have owned for more than one year to Wesleyan College.
• Wesleyan College sells your securities and uses the proceeds for our programs.

Benefits:

• You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the fair market value of the securities on the date of transfer (even if you originally paid much less for them).
• You pay no capital gains tax on the transfer when the stock is sold.
• Giving appreciated stock can be more beneficial than giving cash. The "cost" of your gift is often less than the deduction you gain by making it.

Please contact Melissa Klein, Chief Development Officer, at (478) 757-3790 or mklein@wesleyancollege.edu with any pertinent details to ensure that your gift is applied appropriately and properly acknowledged.

Committing to a monthly gift is an easy and meaningful way to support Wesleyan College. Smaller contributions over time add up to a more significant gift by the end of the fiscal year. If giving monthly to The Wesleyan Fund, you join others in becoming a member of the Wesleyan Every Season Club (WESclub).

To commit to a recurring gift, please do so online at wesleyancollege.edu/giving. For more information, visit wesleyancollege.edu/giving/wesclub.cfm or please contact Sarah McCarthy, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, at (478) 757-5171 or smccarthy@wesleyancollege.edu.

To change or update either your credit card information or gift details for a current recurring gift, please contact Laura Millar, Director of Advancement Operations, at (478) 757-5130 or lmillar@wesleyancollege.edu.

A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. These gifts are generally tax deductible at the time of contribution to the fund and are invested to grow over time, allowing you to recommend grants from the fund at any time to support Wesleyan College. You can also create a lasting legacy by designating Wesleyan College as the beneficiary of the entire fund or a percentage of the fund.

For more information, please contact your financial advisor, your fund administrator, or Melissa Klein, Chief Development Officer, at (478) 757-3790 or mklein@wesleyancollege.edu.

A residence, vacation home, farm, acreage, or vacant property may have so appreciated through the years that its sale would result in a sizable capital gains tax. By giving this property to Wesleyan College, you would avoid the capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property.

Because there may be considerations and requirements that must be met before a gift of real estate can be accepted, please contact Sarah McCarthy, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, at (478) 757-5171 or smccarthy@wesleyancollege.edu for more information.
