Other Ways to Give
There are a variety of other ways in which you can contribute to Woods. . .
- Securities. Stock certificates can be assigned directly to the Woods Services Foundation or they may be transferred through your broker. The amount of your contribution is the fair market value on the day of the transfer. Such gifts eliminate capital gains tax liability and provide income tax savings. For instructions for transfer, contact us at wsfoundation@woods.org.
- Corporate Matching Gifts. Many companies will match your gift through a Matching Gift Program which can double or even triple your contribution. All you have to do is obtain and complete a Matching Gift Form from your employer’s Human Resources Department and mail it with your gift. Once we receive it, the form will be forwarded to your company for processing. A check to match your donation is then sent to Woods. For your convenience, we have provided a list of companies with Matching Gift Programs.
- Gifts In-Kind. Woods also accepts gifts in-kind of technology, furniture, clothing and more. To make a gift in-kind, first contact us at wsfoundation@woods.org and we will help you make arrangements for delivery.
- United Way Donor Choice. Some donors prefer to make contributions through their local United Way. While Woods is not designated as a United Way agency, you can allocate your gift through their Donor Choice, Specific Care option. To do so, you must record both Woods’ name and address on your United Way donor card.
- Cash Back Programs. Many businesses have “cash back” or rebate programs that will give a percentage of your purchases to organizations like Woods.Funds received from these businesses are used to benefit our educational programs.
For more information about any of these programs, you may contact us at (215)750-4216 or wsfoundation@woods.org.
