A Current Gift 

Gifts of Cash

A cash donation is deductible for the full amount of the gift, up to 50% of the donor's adjusted gross income in the year it is given. If the gift is bigger than that, you can deduct the excess during the next five years. We now accept credit cards for donations and membership contributions both on-line and by phone. Visit our Join Us page to make an on-line contribution.

Gifts of Securities

Stocks, bonds and mutual funds can be used to make a gift to WVWA by transferring them to our brokerage account. 

You will avoid paying capital gains tax on any appreciated value. 

You will receive an income tax charitable deduction for the fair market value of the security. The tax deduction is limited to 30% of your adjusted gross income in the year of the gift, with anything above that amount being deductible over the next five years. 

If you have securities on which you may incur a loss, you should sell them first, claiming a capital loss tax deduction, then give the proceeds to WVWA, claiming a charitable deduction, as well.

For information about how to transfer securities to WVWA, call Anne Standish, Director of Development, at 215-646-8866.
