Planned Giving
Planning for the future can have a lasting impact on our community. By including NCTV17 in your financial and estate plans, you can make a significant difference through various giving options like Donor-Advised Funds (DAF), IRA charitable rollovers, or gifts of appreciated stock.
These planned gifts help sustain our mission of providing trusted, local journalism for years to come. Whether you’re looking to maximize tax benefits or leave a meaningful legacy, your planned gift ensures that Naperville stays informed and connected.
Donor Advised Fund
A DAF is a charitable giving program that allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes. DAF Direct enables you to recommend grants to this nonprofit directly from your DAF.
Through Your IRA
If you are 70 ½ or older, you can use your IRA to receive tax relief on giving to charities like NCTV17. With a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) from your IRA you can see the difference you’re making during your lifetime.
Stock Gifts
Gifts of publicly traded securities that have appreciated in value allow you to claim a charitable deduction for the full market value of the securities on the date the gift is made.
Beneficiary Designations
This is one of the simplest ways to make a gift. Name NCTV17 as a primary or contingent beneficiary of your IRA or Life Insurance and specify the percentage you want NCTV17 to receive.
Bequests
Creating the legacy you wish to leave is one of the most effective ways to ensure a lasting impact. Making a gift in your will or living trust can guarantee that your legacy endures.
Please consult your financial advisor or attorney to determine the best way for you to give a Planned Gift to NCTV17. All Planned Gifts are deeply appreciated and ensure your commitment to community-centered journalism continues for years to come.
