What to Give

Discover the types of assets you can give to create lasting impact.

Gifts of Cash

A gift of cash is a simple way for you to make a gift to Wheaton.

Gifts of Stocks and Bonds

Gifting appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, is an easy and tax-effective way to give.

Gifts of Real Estate

Donating appreciated real estate—such as a home, vacation property, undeveloped land, farmland, ranch or commercial property—can be a wonderful way to support the college.

Gifts of Retirement Assets

Donating part or all of your unused retirement assets such as a gift from your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), pension or other tax-deferred plan is a smart way to leave a legacy at Wheaton.

Gifts of Life Insurance

A paid up life insurance policy is an excellent way to make a gift to Wheaton. If you have a life insurance policy that has outlasted its original purpose—such as providing for children who are now financially independent—you can repurpose the policy as a meaningful gift to the college.

Gifts of Business Interests

A gift of your business interest, including corporate stock or assets, can provide you with tax and income benefits and help support our students.

What is Planned Giving?

Planned giving is charitable giving coordinated with your personal charitable financial, tax and estate goals. Good planning with tax-wise gifting strategies enables you to make significant charitable gifts during your lifetime and leave a meaningful, lasting legacy for Wheaton students.
