Ways to Give Wisely

Give an Asset Instead of Cash

Using appreciated securities to make your gift can deliver more tax benefits to you than using cash.

Giving Winterthur personal property or business interests may be more beneficial than continuing to maintain them.


Plan a Gift in Your Estate

Your bequest helps ensure that Winterthur will maintain its unparalleled excellence for future generations – without affecting your assets during your lifetime.

We offer a smart, charitable alternative to the double taxation awaiting your retirement plan in your estate.

You can turn surplus life insurance coverage into a charitable gift to Winterthur, or use a new policy to create an endowment from income instead of capital.


Partner With Us in Your Giving

You will receive stable lifetime payments that are taxed attractively when you create a charitable gift annuity.

You can receive income to help you meet many family obligations from a charitable remainder annuity trust or a charitable remainder unitrust, two of our most flexible giving options.

Make a gift to our pooled income fund, and receive income for life and the benefits of a charitable mutual fund.

You can get a charitable deduction plus cash to use elsewhere with the part-gift/part-sale charitable bargain sale.

You can give us your home and continue to live there.

Increase your estate for your children while delivering years of income to Winterthur with a charitable lead trust.
