Your gift of appreciated long-term stock or mutual fund shares is an excellent way to support WFIU and/or WTIU. That's because they're simple gifts and can offer you a greater tax benefit than an equivalent in cash.

Using appreciated assets entitles you to a charitable deduction for the fair-market value of the donated asset, and you can avoid paying capital gains tax you would otherwise pay upon the sale of the appreciated securities. This tax deduction may be up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income, and any amount over this limit may be carried forward for five years.

You Will Receive:

• Possible tax benefits
• NO capital gain on any stock you give as an outright gift
• Full fair-market value of the stock (as of the date of your gift) as an itemized charitable deduction on your federal income tax return when you give stock as an outright gift
• A state tax credit if you are an Indiana resident

Please notify us if you are including the station in your estate plans. We want to say “Thank you!” Plus, we can help you ensure that your gift makes the biggest possible impact. If you have not written a will yet, regardless of your charitable intent, please consider doing so.
