Giving Through Your Will or Trust
One of the most popular ways to leave a legacy gift is through a gift in your will or trust.
Through Your IRA Fund
If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to give to AZPM and receive tax benefits in return.
Beneficiary Designations
Naming AZPM as a beneficiary of one of your assets, such as your retirement plan or life insurance policy, is a convenient way to ensure we can continue to serve our audience.
Charitable Gift Annuity
A Charitable Gift Annuity through AZPM can give you a reliable income stream for life and significant tax savings.
Real Estate
Almost any type of real estate may be donated: undeveloped land, farms, commercial buildings, vacation homes, or your residence.
Donor Advised Fund
Donor-advised funds are a convenient and easy way to organize your charitable intentions.
Why make a planned gift?
AZPM is committed to being a trusted source of content and educational services that foster an informed, active citizenry, civil and thoughtful conversation, and community collaboration. However, we cannot exist without your partnership. You give because you believe, as we do, in providing high-quality programming that challenges the mind and fills the soul.Help support thought-provoking, award-winning television and radio programs, inspirational classical music, student internships, and educational outreach throughout Southern Arizona with a planned gift.
Giving through your will, trust, life insurance, or retirement accounts are excellent ways to sustain AZPM for the future, enabling you to make a more profound impact than might otherwise be possible.
Your gift will qualify you to become an AZPM Legacy Society member and could entitle you to tax benefits and estate advantages.
