Other Ways to Give
It may suit you best to support WFUV with non cash gifts. Listed below are alternative ways to support WFUV that may offer you tax benefits. (Please seek professional tax advice.)
Gifts of Stock
Got some stock that's done well? Donating publicly traded securities that have gone up in value means you may be able to give more than you thought you could.
If you've owned the stock for over a year, you get a tax deduction for its full appreciated value. Plus, you avoid the capital gain taxes you'd have to pay if you sold it.

Put Us in Your Will
You can add a gift to WFUV in your will, and we promise to love you back forever.
Your "planned gift" can go a long way toward making sure that FUV stays strong for the long term. If you want your kids and grandkids to know and understand the importance of the art of quality music like you do, our Director of Development has a background as a trusts and estates attorney, and can suggest how any size gift can have a big impact on WFUV's future. (Your own lawyer not included.)

Annuities: Let Your Gift Earn
Did you know there's a way to provide for your parents and WFUV at the same time? An annuity with FUV can pay a generous current income for your folks, and the remainder goes to your favorite public radio station.
At a gift level of $10,000 or more, it's a tax-friendly and music-friendly investment at the same time.
