Mutual Funds & Stock Donations - Transfers
Phone: 610.399.3377 ext. 105

Westminster welcomes stock and mutual fund transfers. Giving stock held more than 12 months offers a two-fold tax savings. You avoid paying capital-gains tax on the increase in value of your stock and receive a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift. This is an excellent option for stock that has appreciated substantially in value.

You may choose to make your charitable contributions directly from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). You may benefit from the IRA Charitable Rollover provision which allows individuals who have reached age 70½ to donate to charitable organizations directly from their IRA, without treating the distribution as taxable income. Please consult with your tax adviser and contact our Finance office with the information about your contribution. Donors are not identified when the distribution is received.  Please indicate your name, the trustee sending in the contribution, and to what fund you would like your gift designated.

Online Bill Pay - Give Using Online Bill Pay
Phone: 610.399.3377 ext. 105

Most banks have some form of online bill pay system that is available to those who use online banking services. It is often free and you can usually set up recurring payments from any of your active accounts. Be sure to include your giving number with the contribution and be aware there is a short delay from the time you initiate the payment to the date the check is actually mailed to the church – which might be important for any year-end tax considerations. Please contact your bank’s customer service department to set-up online bill pay. 

Employer Gift Matching - Contact Human Resources
Phone: 610.399.3377 ext. 105

Looking to make your giving dollars go further? Start by finding out if your employer has a matching gift program in place.
