Your contributions help us continue to produce great local and
national programs.
By making a planned gift to WBGU-PBS, you help ensure that our trusted educational programming, cultural enrichment, and community engagement remain strong.
Explore the many meaningful ways you can invest in WBGU-PBS and make a lasting difference:
- Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) - DAFs are one of the easiest and most tax-advantageous ways to give. Recommending a grant from your Donor-Advised Fund is a powerful way to support WBGU-PBS.
- IRA - If you are 70½ or older, you can make a tax-wise gift from your IRA. If you are 73 or older, your QCD can count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD). Consult your retirement plan advisor to see if this simple and straightforward way to give is right for you!
- Securities - Save on income tax and avoid capital gains tax by donating long-term appreciated stock.
- Bequest - You can easily add language to your will or trust that identifies WBGU-PBS as a beneficiary of your estate. Your gift will reduce pressure on yearly fundraising campaigns and enable WBGU to plan strategically for the future.
- Beneficiary Designations - Name WBGU-PBS as a beneficiary of your qualified retirement account, life insurance policy, bank/investment account, annuity, DAF and more. You can choose to give a percentage, a specific amount, or the entire account.
Act by December 31 to maximize your impact this year!
