Ways You Can Give
Current and Future Gifts
You can choose to give in two ways: Current or Future. Current gifts means you make your donation immediately, and are the most common option. Future, or deferred gifts, can be arranged for whenever it suits you.
Current Gifts or Pledges
These are helpful because they are available for immediate use to help people and communities. They are generally the most common gifts and can help us to meet our targets for community projects, scholarships, and other services.
Two of the most common forms of outright gifts are cash and appreciated assets. For most donors, gifts of appreciated assets that have been held for more than one year may be a more “tax-wise” gift than cash. Appreciated assets include:
- Publicly traded securities and mutual funds
- Real estate
- Closely-held stock
- Paid-up insurance policies
- Charitable lead trusts
If you are considering a gift of appreciated assets, we will be glad to assist you in completing the transaction.
Future or Deferred Gifts
Future gifts allow donors to retain an interest and defer their charitable use by Warnborough to a later date. Examples of future gifts are:
- Bequests (a gift through your will or estate plan)
- Deferred pledge agreement
- “Pay on death” accounts
- Qualified pension plans
- Personal residence or farm (retained life estate)
- Charitable remainder trusts
- Charitable gift annuities
Other Ways of Giving
We are always looking for people who are willing to give up their time or skills.
Our people in need require more than just monetary benefits – they require guidance, mentorship, support and encouragement.
Depending on the projects that are running, see if your skills and abilities ‘match’ what is required to achieve success. Volunteer your time and talents, and help to change lives.
