Planned Giving

We designed, developed and implemented a comprehensive "Planned Giving Program" to assist our members in charitable estate and gift planning. We offer knowledgeable advice and will work with you and your professional advisors to design a plan that is advantageous to you. We can provide you at no obligation, brochures on gift planning opportunities and personalized illustrations outlining a variety of tax-saving benefits. You may be able to increase the income from your property and/or arrange for management of specific assets. At the same time, income, estate, and gift taxes may be avoided or minimized – all while completing the charitable gift you wish to make. Any conversation would be strictly confidential. We'd be happy to help. (619) 594-2104

Appreciated Stock

The gift of an asset, often common stock or mutual fund shares, is a valuable way to make a contribution to public broadcasting and receive tax benefits based on the value of the asset(s).

Real Estate

There are many ways to donate property. It can be an outright gift, a retained life estate, or placed in a trust.
