“Entering college has been one of the most exciting transitions of my life. I have already learned an incredible amount in my classes at Duke University and through my interactions with others. I am so grateful to have attended school at Wesleyan Christian Academy to solidly ground my faith, while preparing academically.”
Kinsley, Class of 2008

Company Matching Gifts
Many companies have matching gift programs in which the company matches the gifts made by employees. Donors should check with their own employer to determine if their employer participates in a matching gift program.
Securities
Giving securities may be a very advantageous method of giving for many donors. A donor may receive favorable tax consequences by giving stocks that have appreciated. Wesleyan Christian Academy can accept readily marketable securities such as those traded on the stock exchange. Typically, such stocks will be sold immediately by the school. The value of the securities is determined based upon the date of the gift.
Real Estate
Giving real estate that has appreciated in value allows the donor to receive credit for its present value as a deduction and avoid paying capital gains. A partial listing of real estate guidelines are shown below:
If the donor intends to use the donation for tax purposes, a recent appraisal shall be submitted to the school. The appraised value of the property must be determined by an authorized appraisal firm according to IRS regulations. Title to the property donated is held in the name of Wesleyan Education Center. All real property donations are subject to the school board’s approval. Disposition of donated property is determined by the school board.Gifts of real property are accepted based upon benefits exceeding risks. In addition, the school considers the following factors: expenses and efforts required to hold, maintain, manage or dispose of the property. Real property must pass a Phase One environmental audit prior to acceptance.
In-Kind Donations
In-kind donations are tangible gifts of personal property, such as furnishings, equipment, as well as business / professional services that can be of important value to the school. A tax benefit may be realized by the donor. The value of the donation is determined by the donor and according to IRS regulations.
Planned Giving
Planned Giving is a unique opportunity for donors to utilize their estate as the source of a donation to the school. A donor considering a planned gift to the school should consult his/her financial advisor as to the best type of gift.
Designation of Gifts
A donor may designate the intended use and purpose of the gift at the time of the donation. Unrestricted gifts are used at the discretion of the board.
