Make an investment in WHYY's future

Since its founding in 1953, WHYY has enriched the lives of millions of listeners and viewers in the Delaware Valley with programming that makes people think, feel and explore new ideas.

We invite you to help carry on this tradition. With a planned gift to WHYY, you make a promise to future generations that excellent on-air programs and off-air events and services will always be available. For many, a testamentary gift is the most realistic way to make a significant contribution to WHYY. Your future gift is revocable, and you retain control of the assets to meet your future needs.

Bequests of all sizes benefit WHYY, and there are many ways to combine your philanthropic giving with your own financial and tax-planning needs. With careful preparation, your gift can: provide you and/or your loved ones with additional income in retirement; help you avoid capital gain taxes at the time of the gift; protect assets that would otherwise be subject to estate and gift taxes; and give you an opportunity to support the causes you care about.

The staff in our Planned Giving department will be pleased to assist you and your advisors in planning a gift that will serve your financial needs and, at the same time, benefit WHYY.

For more information about making a planned gift to WHYY, call (215) 928-2416; write to WHYY, c/o Major Gifts Department, 150 North 6th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106; or send an e-mail with your name, mailing address and telephone number to mleyden@whyy.org. Please type "Planned Giving Information" in the subject line.
