Make an Online Donation with a Credit or Debit Card |
You can follow this link to make an online donation with a credit or debit card. You can choose to make a one-time donation, or a recurring monthly donation by setting your preferences to automatically donate a certain amount each month. A commitment to give every month, even in a small amount such as $5.00, does wonders for our program. It gives us the ability to make projections for our financial future.

IRA Distribution |
If you are 72 (or 70-1/2 prior to 2020) years or older, you can make a tax-free donation from a traditional or Roth IRA, up to $100,000 directly to the WSCF. This benefits the WSCF while reducing your adjusted gross income, which can lower your tax bill. To make an IRA distribution, contact your IRA administrator and provide instructions in writing to transfer the amount you wish directly to the WSCF.

Donor-Advised Funds (DAF) |
You can immediately put your DAF to work supporting students and campus ministers by making a grant to the WSCF through your fund. Please email us at wscftrustees@gmail.com for more information
Did you know only 20% of all charitable dollars in DAF accounts are distributed to charity each year? If you have a DAF, please put your money to work for its intended purpose by making a generous contribution to the WSCF today. |
Stocks and Securities |
When you make a gift of stock to the WSCF there is no obligation to pay capital gains taxes on the appreciation. Plus, you are still eligible to deduct the full fair-market value of the asset you donated from your income taxes, up to the overall amount allowed by the IRS. To get started, please send us an email at wscftrustees@gmail.com.

Request a Matching Gift from Your Employer |
If you work for, or are retired from, one of the many companies with a matching gift program, your contribution to the WSCF can have twice the impact. Find out if your company has a matching gift program. In many cases, your employer will match your gift dollar-for-dollar, and some companies even double or triple the amount of your gift — at no cost to you. The database linked above has a good, but not comprehensive list of companies that match. If you don't see your company listed, be sure to ask your employer whether such a program exists.
