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 the mission of Westmont College, 2.5% of cash gifts (one time or cumulative in a fiscal year) will be directed to support the ongoing operational costs of the college. 97.5% of all funds raised go directly to benefit students, programs and extend the mission of the college. The remainder supports the vital operations that make our mission possible. We work diligently to honor your gifts by keeping our overhead low. You're invited into conversation regarding this practice to ensure you understand how your generous support maintains college operations. Gifts to endowment are excluded from this general practice.
