It’s As Easy As 1–2–3
-
Include Public Radio in Your Will
Decide to include KBACH in your will or codicil (a simple amendment to your will). You may also specify one of our ongoing projects.
-
Decide on the Gift
Decide what type of gift you would like to make. There are three types of bequests:
- Outright: specify a sum of money or a percentage of the estate net value
- Deferred: provide immediate benefits to individual beneficiaries with KBACH receiving the bequest at a later time
- Residual: KBACH receives the bequest after all costs, debts, and taxes have been paid and all other bequests have been satisfied.
Please contact us to discuss language that would best meet your needs to be sure we are able to apply the bequest in accordance with your wishes.
