Matching Gifts
Ever wish you could multiply your gift to Wentworth? Here is a way -- employer matching contributions. Thousands of companies have Matching Gift programs which double or even triple individual, tax-deductible contributions made by their employees. Check with your personnel office about your company’s Matching Gift program. If one is available they can provide the form which you will complete and send to us with your cash donation. We will confirm your donation and forward the form to your company headquarters.

Gifts of Stocks or Bonds
A charitable gift of stocks or bonds provides an opportunity for tax savings while generously sharing with others. A gift of stock owned for more than one year entitles you to a charitable deduction for the full market value at the time the gift is made. If the stock has appreciated, you also avoid a capital gains tax on the appreciation. In addition you to helping Wentworth Foundation, you may diversify away from low-basis, long-term holdings into other assets that will better suit your current needs. If you would like to discuss a gift of stocks or bonds, please call Kent McElroy at (660) 259-2221, ext. 1232.

Gifts of Real Estate/Property
Gifts may be made of a personal residence, a vacation home, a commercial property or undeveloped land. Such a gift will entitle you to a federal income tax charitable deduction equal to the fair market value of the property on the date of your gift, provided you have owned the property for more than one year. Capital gains taxes are also avoided by giving real estate.

The property is deeded directly to Wentworth Foundation, Inc. One hundred percent of the property’s appraised value is income tax deductible. Please call Kent McElroy at (660) 259-2221, ext. 1232, or email him for more information.
