Donations
REMEMBERING OUR CHILDREN THROUGH YOUR DONATIONS Many donors to The Children’s Home of Wheeling choose to support our children’s service programs during their lifetime. Typically gifts are made in the form of cash/pledges, personal property, stocks/securities, real estate/investment properties and gift annuities.
Sometimes gifts are made in memory or in honor of a loved one. From a tax perspective, lifetime gifts are best, because they are exempt from estate taxes and also generate income tax deductions that can be used currently. The Children’s Home of Wheeling, Inc. has been designated as a public charity under federal tax laws, and thus 100% of any gift is considered a charitable gift for federal tax purposes. Your donation may be designated for a current particular program/need or to be a gift to The Children’s Home of Wheeling Foundation, Inc. that has been established to support the on-going needs of the children in our care.
West Virginia state tax credits are only available for check or credit card donations. PayPal gifts are not eligible.	TO THE TOP
REMEMBER OUR CHILDREN IN YOUR WILL Lifetime donors to The Children’s Home of Wheeling, Inc. quite often also name us in their wills, so that their support to our children continues long after they are gone. Many have told us that they believe this to be the best gift of all, since it lives on. By drafting a Last Will and Testament naming The Children’s Home of Wheeling, Inc., donors make sure that their wishes are carried out after their death and that their assets are distributed to their beneficiaries in the manner they desire. If you have named The Children’s Home of Wheeling as a beneficiary of your estate, please let us know so that we are aware of the gift. If you prefer to keep the gift anonymous, we will honor your wish, but we would like to know how you would prefer that we use the funds, so that we can follow your wishes. Gifts made at death through a Will or Trust are not subject to death taxes of any kind. If you would like to learn more about any of these options, please contact Karen Coulling, Director of Resource Development at kcoulling@childrenshomeofwheeling.com or by calling 233-2367, Ext. 251.
