Below, we offer ideas for how your philanthropy can help support our mission, while lowering your tax liabilities.*
We thank you for your support that allows WFHC to provide quality whole-person healthcare to all who need our services.
For as little as $5.00 per month, you help make a difference! After an easy one-time set up, your monthly donation will be automatically deducted from a bank account or charged to your credit card. A perfect solution for larger gifts when you’d like to spread out your donation into monthly payments.
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are investment accounts that offer a wide range of unique tax benefits for the sole purpose of supporting charitable organizations. The “Give from my DAF” tool (below) automatically links with your DAF, allows you to recommend how you’d like your gift to be used, and notifies Westside Family Health Center of your intentions.
A contribution from your DAF is a highly effective way to ensure consistent financial support while saving cash for your immediate needs.
If you are 70.5 or older, giving from your IRA can help reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is an effortless way to fulfill that obligation! Qualified charitable distributions are made directly to the eligible charity from the IRA; the money is a direct transfer to the charity that never passes through the hands of the IRA holder.
By using the link below to give from your IRA, you can auto complete your paperwork, and we can track your gift to send you the proper tax receipts.
Many employers have a matching gift program that will double (or more!) employee donations. Check with your company’s HR or finance department to see if your company participates in one.
Please contact the Development Department for more information.
FYI: If you are an employee of Disney, County of Los Angeles, Cigna, Johnson & Johnson or Pfizer, your donation is eligible for a company match.
Donate new/unused/unscented products that we can distribute to patients in need. Toiletry items, dental supplies, toys, socks, caps, school supplies, backpacks, etc. are always appreciated. Please contact the Development Department for more information.
When you name an exam room(s) or practice pod in the clinic, it will be seen on a bold door plaque or prominent, large wall plaque for years to come. For the ultimate recognition of your family or business, the WFHC building can be named.
This highly visible backlit signage offers multiple exposures located on one of the busiest areas of the 405 freeway (both north and south visibilities) and northbound Sepulveda Blvd. Please contact the Development team for more information.
Donating stocks allows you to avoid capital gains tax and often take a charitable deduction for the full value of the asset. Use this tool to donate stock so we can track your gift, send you the correct receipt, and ensure you can get the tax savings you deserve.
If you would prefer to make your donation through your broker, access our transfer information from the tool link above to notify Westside Family Health Center of your gift.
When you make a gift from your will, trust or designate WFHC as a beneficiary, your legacy will leave the gift of health to those in need.
Westside Family Health Center has partnered with online platform FreeWill. Their will-maker is easy to follow, customized to you, and includes guidelines specific to the state where you live.
The documents are valid and legally binding in all 50 states and Washington D.C. It’s completely free to use and can take as little as 20 minutes to complete.
Recognize any occasion; birthdays, anniversaries, newborn, graduation, or memorial, with a WFHC tribute gift. The recipient receives a custom acknowledgment that a donation has been made in their honor.
Leverage your social connections and personal networks to expand the reach of WFHC’s fundraising efforts. Supporters create individual pages with their own stories and connection to the cause, making the ask more personal and engaging. By using social media platforms and email to reach their networks, it’s easy for people to donate and share the campaign with others.
Running in a race or other athletic competition, have a charitable school project, throwing a milestone celebration, or similar? Consider making WFHC the beneficiary.
Some ideas: Create a birthday fundraiser on social media, ask for donations instead of gifts, or Initiate team participation in a walkathon or run, with team members soliciting donations from their networks.
