plan your end-of-year giving to the college.<br />
• Be sure to review the status of any fall or post- election federal legislation regarding<br />
charitable gifts and estate taxes, including IRA assets and rollover gifts. Double check<br />
with your tax advisor or accountant for any recent changes. Significant 2013 changes<br />
are scheduled to automatically occur unless Congress intervenes.<br />
• Avoid capital gains taxes and preserve cash by donating appreciated stocks directly to<br />
the <strong>College</strong>.<br />
• Explore a Charitable Gift Annuity (CGA). With CD and other rates of return remaining<br />
quite low, a CGA might be a great way to make a special gift to <strong>Wartburg</strong> while<br />
receiving a lifetime income stream back along with a nice year-end charitable<br />
deduction. Low dividend yielding and highly appreciated gifts of securities are assets<br />
often used to fund CGAs. (Additional info below)<br />
• Include in your holiday giving to friends and family members charitable gifts to<br />
<strong>Wartburg</strong> and other organizations that are special to you and them.<br />
• Thank you for your faithful support of <strong>Wartburg</strong>. May you have safe and enjoyable<br />
holiday seasons.<br />
