Planned Giving
Leave a lasting legacy with a planned gift to WPFW. Planned giving—through wills, trusts, beneficiary designations, charitable gift annuities, or gifts of appreciated assets—provides a powerful way to support independent, community-focused radio for generations.
Your planned gift sustains in-depth news, arts, and civic programming, helps train emerging broadcasters, and keeps WPFW free from commercial influence. Planned gifts can also offer tax advantages and income benefits for you and your loved ones.
Thank you for considering a gift that keeps community voices on the air long into the future.
We work with donors and their financial advisors to structure gifts that achieve personal estate goals while maximizing impact for the station. All planned gift conversations are confidential, with no obligation.
