Same gift, better deduction

We've told you that a donation using appreciated securities produces a charitable deduction in the amount of the full, fair market value of the stock, with no liability for capital gains — a great tax benefit!

How it works

  You transfer cash, securities or other appreciated property into an annuity trust.

  The trust makes fixed annual payments to you or to the beneficiaries you name.

  When the trust terminates, the principal passes to KCET.

Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your contribution to the annuity trust.
  • You pay no upfront capital gains tax on any appreciated assets you donate.
  • You or your designated income beneficiaries receive stable, predictable income for life or a term of years.
  • You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and KCET later.
