ListenPlanned 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
Planned Gifts
Wills & Bequests
These gifts are the simplest and most common planned gifts.
Charitable Gift Annuities
This gift option is a combination of an investment and a gift and provides life income to the donor.
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.
Retirement Assets
Contributions to retirement plans can provide an excellent opportunity for growth as they grow tax-free, meaning that the growth or earnings are not taxed annually but can continue to grow.
Life Insurance
There are several ways you can use life insurance as the basis for a charitable gift.
Charitable Remainder Trusts
Charitable Remainder Trust is established for the life of the donor and/or for the life of any beneficiary(-ies) and is irrevocable.
Charitable Lead Trusts
The Charitable Lead Trust (CLT) is a powerful way to make a future transfer of assets to your heirs at a significantly reduced gift and estate tax cost, while also providing KPBS with income.
Pooled Income Fund
A Pooled Income Fund, often called "the mutual fund of charitable giving," is one trust for many donors, rather than one trust for an individual donor.
Living Trusts
A Living Trust is a legal document that enables you to leave instructions for who you want to handle your final affairs and how you want your assets distributed after you die.
Tributes & Memorials
Consider making your gift in honor of someone who has played an important role in your life.
