> Prudence Leads to Security, Generosity
Friends and family would describe Mr. M. as
"frugal." This retired electrical engineer
takes pride in his life-long ability to make
prudent financial decisions. Now a resident of
one of WEL's continuing care communities, Mr.
M. is a bachelor who enjoys hiking and
traveling. He took yet another carefully
planned step to enhance his financial well
being: He created a charitable gift annuity
with the WEL Foundation. By doing so, Mr. M.
created an ongoing, tax-free income stream for
himself and provided support for an
organization whose work he trusts and directly
appreciates.
"It
is one of the most beautiful compensations of
life, that no man can sincerely try to help
another without helping himself."
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

> Creating a "Family" Legacy
A gift of real estate is a most generous
donation! The WEL Foundation is gratified to
have received such a gift resulting from the
sale of a congregation's parsonage. One woman,
Mrs. B., a resident of one of WEL's continuing
care communities, is single-handedly
responsible for making this gift possible. She
has been a steadfast, generous supporter of the
WEL Foundation. As a leader of her religious
community she recognized the opportunity that
presented itself when her congregation was
compelled to sell property. Then, she
vigorously advocated on WELF's behalf to secure
that gift. In doing so, she helped her
congregation fulfill its faith-based goals and
enhance the value that she personally
contributes.
"The
heart of the giver makes the gift dear and
precious."

> A Tradition of Generosity
Tradition, family, and faith are the
cornerstones of Mrs. T.'s life. A
philanthropist, community leader, and advocate
for the elderly, Mrs. T. is a
second-generation, life long supporter of WEL
Foundation. Soon, Mrs. T. will become a
resident of one of WEL's continuing care
communities in whose mission she strongly
believes. Her donations to WELF have always
been multi-faceted, encompassing marketable
securities, planned giving, and cash donations.
In this way, she lives her faith, continues her
family's tradition, and provides herself with
important tax deductions, taking care of
herself.
"It's
not what we take up, but what we give up, that
makes us rich."
– Henry Ward Beecher
