Giving to Wilson

Your years at Wilson transformed your life. You became strong… confident… independent… involved.

From the moment you strolled among the pines and maples, everything about Wilson spoke to you: The heritage of strong women. The beloved traditions. The academic excellence, unique sisterhood, and empowering "you can do it!" atmosphere. Perhaps for the first time in your life, you felt alive - and began confidently striding toward a promising future. Now imagine giving that wondrous gift - the gift of a Wilson education - to another young woman, and watching her life take flight.  Your support of Wilson College will do just that!

IRA Charitable Rollover

The IRA Charitable Rollover was brought back as part of the ‘fiscal cliff’ negotiations in January with the passing of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. We are excited about this opportunity that allows our alumnae and friends who are over the age of 70 ½ to direct a portion or all of their IRA Required Minimum Distribution to Wilson College. The IRA Charitable Rollover is a way for individuals to support their favorite charities because enables them to make a gift to charity from their IRA and not include the amount so distributed in their taxable income. These method of giving can be advantageous from a tax standpoint if:
  • An individual does not itemize deductions
  • An individual pays state income taxes by cannot take charitable deductions on the state income tax return
  • An individual is unable to deduct all charitable contributions because of the deduction limitations
  • An increase in their taxable income impacts their ability to use other deductions.
