Planned Giving

Public media serves the immediate information needs of the communities where we operate throughout Nevada and adjacent counties in Arizona, Utah and California. Since 1980 we’ve provided NPR news on a growing number of FM broadcast signals, the very best in entertainment, international coverage from the BBC and a deepening commitment to reflecting issues that matter the most locally, through original journalism on air, online and in the pages of our city regional magazine Desert Companion. With Nevada Public Radio, generations of Southern Nevadans have grown up with easy access to the tranquility of classical music. Working with nonprofit organizations we have grown compassion and awareness for the region’s civic and cultural life, and made measurable impact on the ability of other charitable causes to meet their missions. Read more of our history.

Truly we are a community partner, friend and champion, so much more than just the NPR radio we grew up with.  Annual operating costs are met with on-going fundraising from individuals, corporations and modest governmental grants. You can be a part of securing the future of an independent Nevada Public Radio enriching the lives of everyone who already seeks out high quality public media; a service with the track record and potential to enhance the lives of everyone in the communities we reach and serve the highest aspirations of an informed democracy.

  • Thoughtful estate planning allows an individual to take care of themselves, their loved ones and the causes that were important to them during their lifetime.
  • With a little planning, today's generous donors, like you, can continue to make a difference beyond their own lifetime.
  • Legacy Giving can provide current tax benefits and even income for life as well as provide a legacy of your thoughtfulness.
  • If you have already included Nevada Public Radio in your estate plans, please let us know by contacting us. We would like to assist you in making certain your intentions will be properly carried out and offer you a membership in our legacy society.

As with all tax and estate planning, please consult your attorney or estate specialist. We are happy to respond to your questions or concerns and can assist you in making tax-wise gifts.

Legacy Gift Options

  • Bequests in a will or trust. These are the simplest and easiest legacy gifts. Your attorney can assist you in the proper wording but it can be as simple as "I give Nevada Public Radio the sum of [amount] to be used for the benefit of Nevada Public Radio."
  • Appreciated stocks or mutual fund shares. The donor does not pay capital gains tax but receives a charitable tax deduction for the full value.
  • Charitable gift annuities and charitable remainder trusts. Gifts of this nature provide income for life to the donors and significant tax advantages, such as deferring or even avoiding capital gain taxes. Trusts are often used for real estate gifts.
  • Life insurance policies.
  • Real estate or property.
  • Retirement Assets. As a non-spouse inheriting retirement assets often has significant tax liabilities, these are one of the best assets to fund a charitable gift. Also, required minimum distributions can now be given directly to a charity without being counted as taxable income under certain circumstances. Please contact us for a sample letter for your plan administrator and for further information on IRA direct transfers.

For more information or a confidential discussion of your charitable options, please email or call NVPR President and CEO, Florence M E Rogers, at 702-258-9895 x133.
