Wills and Trusts




Keeping the promise of public media to our next generation.

Wills and Trusts

Making a gift in your will or revocable living trust is a meaningful way to ensure the promise of public media is kept to future generations in Western New York and Southern Ontario.

Naming Buffalo Toronto Public Media as a beneficiary in your will or living trust can be done at any time. You can add a charitable provision to an existing document or express your charitable wishes in a new one.

Here are some ideas on how to make a gift to the station in your will or living trust:
 

You can give a specific dollar amount or property item,

You can give a percentage of your asset(s),

You can give all or a portion of what remains after gifts to other beneficiaries such as your family and friends have been made, or

Your gift can be contingent upon special circumstances or events.

No matter the form or the size, a gift in your will or living trust can help ensure public media remains a vital resource for our community for many generations to come.
