Wills and trusts
A bequest through your will or trust continues your support into the future. It can be a specific asset or amount, or a percentage of your estate.
Talk with us about a bequest →Beneficiary designations
Name WFDD or the WFDD Endowment as a beneficiary of an IRA, 401(k) or 403(b). Retirement assets left to family are often heavily taxed, so they can be one of the most tax-wise ways to give.
Ask about beneficiary gifts →The WFDD Endowment
Endowment gifts are invested for the long term, creating a growing source of independent support for WFDD's service to the Piedmont, the High Country and beyond.
