Stock and Securities

Giving to Western through securities that have appreciated significantly in value may provide you a substantial tax advantage.

Legacy Giving

A planned gift is one that you promise to give, but defer until a later date. Often, there are significant tax advantages to legacy giving.

Real Estate

If you own a home or other property you no longer need and you would like to make a charitable gift to Western, giving real estate may be an efficient way to meet both goals.

Matching Gifts

More than 1,000 companies help to increase the gifts of their employees (and sometimes retirees) by matching their gifts. For every dollar you give to Western Theological Seminary, your employer may match it.

THANK YOU
