WMHT supporters who want to create a legacy for themselves and invest in what's good for our community often find that a Charitable Gift Annuity with WMHT is the ideal choice.  You can increase your fixed income for life and support excellence in public broadcasting.

How It Works

• You transfer securities or cash worth $10,000 or more to WMHT.
• You receive an income tax deduction and may save on capital gains tax. 
• WMHT pays a fixed amount to you or loved ones you name, each year, for life.  Typically, a portion of these payments is tax-free.
• When the gift annuity ends, its remaining principal passes to WMHT.

Your Benefits

• You receive a set dollar amount each year for the rest of your life, or for the lifetime of another dear to you.
• Rates often exceed traditional investment vehicles.
• You can choose to have these payments start immediately or in the future-- an option that might help in setting aside annual income for a future retirement.
• You will receive an income tax deduction for roughly 20 to 40% of the gift amount and may avoid paying some capital gains tax if you fund your annuity with appreciated stock.
• Some sample single life annuities rates are: Age 65 -6%, Age 70 -6.5% or Age 82- 8.5%. You can calculate your rate using our secure and private Gift Calculator.
• You will have the satisfaction of making a significant contribution that benefits you now and creates a legacy of important support for WMHT into the future!
