WAYS TO MAKE A PLANNED GIFT

Described below are some of the ways to make a planned gift to Montana Public Radio. You will want to discuss your plans with your family and your financial advisor. A Planned Giving Specialist from the University of Montana Foundation is also available to assist you in determining what type of planned gift would be best for you.

Stocks - Marketable securities held long term are a good way to make gifts to Montana Public Radio. Such gifts of appreciated property can be designated for our annual operating needs or can be added to the Montana Public Radio permanent endowment. Gifts of stock also create an immediate income tax deduction for you based on their current value. And, because there is no capital gains tax when you make the gift, you save on taxes twice.

Real Estate - Real estate, which can be used for either an outright or planned gift, can offer favorable tax benefits. Real estate gifts are reviewed by a committee of the University of Montana Foundation Board of Trustees to assure they will be a usable asset for Montana Public Radio.

Bequests - A gift of cash or property made through a will or living trust continues your tradition of giving to Montana Public Radio.

Charitable Remainder Trusts - By placing assets in a charitable trust, you or your designated beneficiary can enjoy lifetime income from the trust and tax benefits at the same time. Upon termination of the trust the remainder goes to Montana Public Radio.

Charitable Gift Annuities - In exchange for a gift of cash, marketable securities or—in some cases—real estate, the Foundation will contractually guarantee to pay you and/or your beneficiary a specified annuity. The annuity can be immediate or deferred and can provide substantial income and estate tax benefits.

Charitable Lead Trusts - A charitable lead trust provides for a gift of interest income to Montana Public Radio from property placed in the trust for a specified period of time, after which the property reverts to you or a non-charitable beneficiary you designate.

Retained Life Estate - While giving your home or farm to Montana Public Radio, you may continue to live in the residence throughout your lifetime or for an agreed-upon time.

Life Insurance - Name Montana Public Radio as owner and beneficiary of a paid-up insurance policy and you receive a charitable deduction.

To discuss these or other options for outright or planned gifts to Montana Public Radio, contact Kay Wilson, Development Director at 800-325-1565 or 406-243-4214. Montana Public Radio participates in building awareness about planned giving through the Leave A Legacy campaign.
