One of the best ways to help right now is through a financial donation to the Westview Foundation.
Ways to Give to Westview Foundation
- Cash Donations – help with both immediate and long term needs.
- Marketable Securities – gifts of highly appreciated securities (I.e. stocks) may be given with substantially reduced after-tax cost.
- Real Estate – due to the avoidance of capital gains tax, real property is frequently used to make a charitable gift.
- Tangible Personal Property – appreciated property is increasingly being used to make gifts to charity.
- Life Insurance – When Westview Foundation is named as owner and beneficiary, a deduction applies equal to the cost basis of the policy or its replacement (whichever is less.) This is a wonderful way of making a significant gift.
- Wills – Naming Westview Foundation in your will as part of your life gift.

$500 – $4,999 (non-monetary gifts) A receipt plus IRS Form 8283 (provided by the charity) is required.
$5,000 and Up – (non-monetary gifts) A qualified appraisal must be obtained for the property contributed along with the receipt and IRS Form 8283.
