Financial support enables Wesley Village Retirement Community to update its facilities, add new services and programs and help those unfortunate residents who have outlived their financial resources and are dependent upon Medical Assistance and the generosity of friends like you.

Checks or cash gifts are welcome throughout the year and are often given in response to seasonal appeals and special events. Such contributions may be earmarked to meet a specific program or service or may be undesignated, which are then applied to help meet the needs of older persons at Wesley Village.

Many of these gifts are given in memory of or in honor of a family member or friend. Memorial Gifts are a great way to perpetuate the memory of a deceased loved one. A remembrance also is included in our quarterly newsletter, WESLEY VILLAGE NEWS

Honorary or Tribute Gifts are an ideal way to remember someone you admire on a special occasion such as a graduation, birth, anniversary, promotion or retirement through a gift to enhance the lives of Wesley Village residents. The donor and person receiving the tribute will receive an acknowledgement of the gift without sharing the amount of the contribution. The tribute will also be included in the WESLEY VILLAGE NEWS

Other types of gifts that can continue to enhance Wesley Village's mission for older persons are:

• Charitable Gift Annuities:
  Make a significant gift to Wesley Village now and receive a fixed, guaranteed income for life.
• Gifts of Property, Stocks, or Bonds:
  The IRS considers the full appreciated value of these assets as the deductable amount, regardless of the original cost. This allowance can substantially increase the opportunity to make a gift while benefiting both the donor and the recipient charity.
• Insurance Policy or Retirement Plan:
  A portion or all of these benefits can be assigned to Wesley Village for its ministry to help older adults.
• Bequests or Trusts:
  Consider a special gift or percentage of your estate in your will or living trust to help meet our residents' future needs.

Consult your attorney and/or financial advisor regarding the best way to maximize your gifts to enhance the lives and meet the needs of older persons at Wesley Village. For additional information about specific giving opportunities, contact Kim Daudelin.
