Gifts of Stock or IRA
There are a variety of ways to make a charitable gift, which may provide tax advantages for you. Please consult your adviser for your best giving option(s). Below are a few recommendations for consideration.
Stock
Donating appreciated securities is a great way for you to make a gift to WFSU. You can deduct the full present fair market value and you owe no tax on the appreciation in value. To make a stock gift to WFSU, you will need to give the following information to your broker or fill out WFSU's Securities Form.

IRA Distributions
At age 70 ½, IRA owners are required by law to take mandatory minimum distributions. An increasingly popular way to make gifts tax-free, transfers to WFSU must be made directly from the IRA or by writing a check from the IRA up to a $100,000 limit. Now that the IRA Charitable Rollover legislation is passed permanently, this enables donors to plan each year in advance. To make an IRA gift to WFSU, you will need to give the following information to your broker or fill out WFSU's IRA Form:
