Ways to Give to WindsorMeade

Your generosity goes a long way in providing financial support for our many community initiatives, continuing education for team members and support for members of our community.

Our Samaritan Program has provided benevolent support in Pinnacle Living communities since our founding in 1948. The Samaritan Program provides peace of mind for our most vulnerable residents who call WindsorMeade home.

In addition, there are five other funds you can support that are equally as important to fulfilling our mission.

When making your tax-deductible contribution, you can support the fund that means the most to you.

Transfer Stocks or Securities



Donating stocks, bonds or other securities allows you to support WindsorMeade Williamsburg while potentially receiving significant tax benefits. Making a tax-advantaged gift by donating stock is quick and easy. The deduction amount is based on the stock’s fair market value on the date of the share’s transfer. The average high and low prices on that day determine fair market value.

To complete a donation of stock or securities, you will first need to contact your broker to transfer your shares to Charles Schwab & Company. You will need the following information to complete the transfer:

Name: Virginia United Methodist Homes DBA Pinnacle Living—Stock
DTC Clearing #: 0164, Code 40
Donation Account #: 2141-8429

When you have initiated the transfer, notify the WindsorMeade Williamsburg Philanthropy Office at 804 474 8724 or by email at cwickham@pinnacleliving.org. Due to privacy concerns, Charles Schwab will not share your identity when telling us about your stock donation. You must notify us directly so we can send your tax receipt letter and confirm that the stock was transferred.

Transfer From an IRA



How does the Charitable IRA work?

If you are 70 and a half years or older, you can give up to $100,000 directly from your IRA to nonprofit organizations such as WindsorMeade.
The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions.
If you have not taken your required minimum distribution for the year, your IRA charitable rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement.

You can also make WindsorMeade the beneficiary of your IRA.

For more information, contact Charles Wickham, Director of Donor Development, at 804 474 8724 or by email at cwickham@pinnacleliving.org.



If you work for or are retired from a company that offers corporate matching, you can double or even triple your gift to WindsorMeade Williamsburg. Call your human resources department to inquire. If your company matches contributions, sign and mail the matching gift form to:
