Tip of the Day

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!

Ways to Give Wisely

Give an Asset Instead of Cash

Using appreciated securities to make your gift can deliver more tax benefits to you than using cash.

Giving us personal property or business interests may be more beneficial than continuing to maintain them.

Plan a Gift in Your Estate

Your bequest helps ensure that we do the work that you support far into the future without affecting your assets during lifetime.

We offer a wise, charitable alternative to the double taxation awaiting your retirement plan in your estate.

You can turn surplus life insurance coverage into a charitable gift to KCET, or use a new policy to create an endowment from income instead of capital.

Partner With Us in Your Giving

You can get a charitable deduction plus cash to use elsewhere with the part-gift/part-sale, charitable bargain sale.

You can give us your home and continue to live there.

You will receive stable lifetime payments that are taxed attractively when you create a charitable gift annuity.

You can receive income to help you meet many family obligations from a charitable remainder annuity trust or a charitable remainder unitrust, two of our most flexible giving options.

Increase your estate for your children while delivering years of income to KCET with a charitable lead trust.
