Many companies have matching gift programs that can double or triple the value of your gift. Please check with your company’s Human Resource Department. The matching gift must be initiated by you after you have contributed to Wishing Well School. When we receive notification from the company, we verify that your gift was made and complete the necessary documentation. The school is already registered with many companies and giving organizations, so this may be as simple as selecting the school as your beneficiary.

Wire Transfer

Many families elect to set up electronic fund transfers from a brokerage, checking or savings account. Please use the address listed above for automatic checks. If you prefer to wire funds to the school’s account, you may use this wire transfer information.

Stocks

A gift of stocks (or bonds) is an easy way for you to make a gift. By making a gift of your appreciated securities, you can avoid paying capital gains tax that would otherwise be due if you sold these assets. Here are some of the potential benefits:

• No capital gains tax on donated securities
• Receive a charitable income tax deduction
• Enjoy possible increased income
• Further the Waldorf mission today!

Once you have decided on the securities you will transfer to Wishing Well School, please email the Board, board@wishingwellschool.org.
