Committing to a monthly gift is an easy and meaningful way to support Wesleyan College. Smaller contributions over time add up to a more significant gift by the end of the fiscal year. If giving monthly to The Wesleyan Fund, you join others in becoming a member of the Wesleyan Every Season Club (WESclub).
To commit to a recurring gift, please do so online at yyhgy.com/giving. For more information, visit yyhgy.com/giving/wesclub.cfm or please contact Sarah McCarthy, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, at (478) 757-5171 or smccarthy@yyhgy.com.
To change or update either your credit card information or gift details for a current recurring gift, please contact Julie Jones, Senior Director of Advancement Operations and Research, at (478) 757-5130 or jjones@yyhgy.com.
A donor-advised fund (DAF) is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. These gifts are generally tax deductible at the time of contribution to the fund and are invested to grow over time, allowing you to recommend grants from the fund at any time to support Wesleyan College. You can also create a lasting legacy by designating Wesleyan College as the beneficiary of the entire fund or a percentage of the fund.
For more information, please contact your financial advisor, your fund administrator, or Melissa Klein, Chief Development Officer, at (478) 757-3790 or mklein@yyhgy.com.
A residence, vacation home, farm, acreage, or vacant property may have so appreciated through the years that its sale would result in a sizable capital gains tax. By giving this property to Wesleyan College, you would avoid the capital gains tax and receive a charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the property.
Because there may be considerations and requirements that must be met before a gift of real estate can be accepted, please contact Sarah McCarthy, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, at (478) 757-5171 or smccarthy@yyhgy.com for more information.
