Ways to Make a Planned Gift
📝 Bequests
Leave a lasting legacy by including WNCW in your will or estate plan. This is a simple and powerful way to ensure WNCW continues to thrive.
Sample Bequest Language:
"I give, devise and bequeath [specific dollar amount, asset, percentage of, or remainder of estate] to WNCW 88.7-FM Public Radio, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization located in Spindale, North Carolina. WNCW’s tax identification number is 56-0841505."
📈 Gifts of Stocks & Bonds
Donate appreciated securities to avoid capital gains taxes and support WNCW in a tax-efficient way.
💼 Gifts of Retirement Assets
Name WNCW as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), or pension. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from an IRA can reduce your taxable income.
🛡️ Gifts of Life Insurance
If you have a life insurance policy you no longer need, consider designating WNCW as a beneficiary or gifting the policy itself.
🏡 Gifts of Real Estate
Turn your property into a meaningful contribution. Gifting appreciated real estate can offer significant tax benefits.
