Tax Benefits
- No capital gains tax on appreciated stocks
- Full market value tax receipt
- Immediate tax deduction
How It Works
When you donate appreciated stocks, you avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation while receiving a tax receipt for the full market value. This can result in significant tax savings compared to selling the stocks first.
Pro Tip: This is especially beneficial for stocks you've held for many years where you may have lost track of the original cost basis.
Benefits
- Annual tax receipts for premiums
- Cannot be contested by heirs
- Quick payout upon claim
How It Works
Name Westbrook Education Fund as the irrevocable beneficiary of your life insurance policy. You'll receive annual tax receipts for the premiums paid, and the death benefit will support our mission.
Perfect Occasions
- Significant birthdays
- Wedding anniversaries
- Graduation anniversaries
How It Works
Instead of receiving gifts, ask your guests to make donations to Westbrook Education Fund. This creates a meaningful way to celebrate while supporting our mission.
Success Story
A recent golden wedding anniversary celebration raised over $9,000 in donations when guests were asked to support Copper Ridge Conference Centre instead of giving traditional gifts.
