Donors over 70 years of age may wish to give up to $100,000 without a tax penalty when given from an individual retirement account. This legislation expires in 2010.
• Donate Your Car
Westridge accepts donation proceeds from many organizations that will purchase your vehicle. A donor may wish to sell their car to these organizations with the proceeds of the sale going to Westridge.
• Stock Gifts
Contributions of appreciated stocks, or other capital assets that have increased in value, can result in significant tax savings. The current full value of the gift can generally be deducted on federal and state income tax, and the capital gains tax on the amount of appreciation is avoided.
