Other Ways To Give

Financial Basics for Baby Boomers From NPR

There are many options for making a gift to WUNC that may provide tax advantages for you and your loved ones. Some are briefly described here, and we would be happy to talk with you about ways you can give to WUNC that are financially beneficial to you while also helping WUNC remain a strong, independent voice of news and information in our region.

WUNC is part of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, whose tax ID (EIN) is 56-6001393.

Donating Stock and Other Securities
You can avoid capital gains tax and receive a charitable income tax deduction by making a gift of appreciated securities, including stocks or bonds, to WUNC Radio. For your gift to count in the current tax year, please make sure the transfer has been completed by 3:30 p.m. on December 31. [More Information]

IRA Charitable Gift Option
This gift option may allow you to directly transfer some or all of your required minimum distribution directly to the WUNC Radio and avoid income tax consequences. If you are sending an IRA gift for the current tax year, please make sure it arrives by December 17. [More Information]

Donate A Car or Other Vehicle
Your donation of a car, truck, boat or other vehicle will help preserve WUNC’s trusted news service. Find out more by calling 1-888-CAR-WUNC (1-888-227-9862) or clicking here.

Leave a Gift to WUNC in Your Will
WUNC's Legacy Society recognizes listeners who have named WUNC Public Radio as a beneficiary of their wills, retirement plans, or other estate plans. [More Information]

Donor-Advised and Foundation Gifts
WUNC is an associated entity of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and falls under the same EIN/tax ID number, which is 56-6001393. Please request that your gift is sent either directly to WUNC’s address – 120 Friday Center Dr., Chapel Hill, NC 27517 – or to UNC Chapel Hill with a note that it is designated for WUNC.

Please do not send your DAF gift to the North Carolina Public Radio Association. This is a separate, private non-profit set up by WUNC and other NC public radio stations to facilitate collaborative work, but it does not solicit individual donations, and it does not distribute donations to WUNC or other public radio stations.
