Most charitable gifts to Westminster Seminary California are given in the form of cash because this is so familiar. However, this may not be the most cost-effective way for you to give. 

You can increase your potential impact – and experience significant tax savings – by giving non-cash assets.

Examples of Non-Cash Assets

• Stock or marketable securities
• Real estate
• Business interests
• Farm commodities
• Life insurance
• IRA charitable rollover (for donors ages 70 ½ and above)
• Tangible personal property

Benefits of Giving Non-Cash Assets

• Tax-wise. Receive a fair market value deduction at the time of your gift and avoid tax liability on the sale of appreciated assets.
• Eliminate hassles. Give assets that you no longer need or want to manage (such as rental properties of vacation homes) for the benefit of Westminster Seminary California.
