Your Gift that Gives Back: KMUW’s Planned Giving Program

Make a promise for the future of KMUW 89.1

We couldn’t do it without you. From Morning Edition to All Things Considered and Global Village to Strange Currency, your outright membership gifts help KMUW 89.1 purchase and produce the pro- gramming you appreciate. Each spring and fall, you accept the invitation for support through our on-air fundraising drives. For that, we thank you.

Have you ever thought about extending your support by including a gift to KMUW in your will or trust? By making a bequest to benefit KMUW, you can assure the best of public radio will extend beyond your lifetime. You can designate the purpose of your gift and since a bequest is revocable, you remain in full control of your assets.

A planned gift to KMUW allows you to make a statement about the impact the station has made on your life and your belief about its future. One couple who did just that is Richard and Cheryl Lewis. For two decades, Dick was the campus pastor at Wichita State University. Cheryl is retired from a ca- reer as an elementary school teacher. Dick and Cheryl enjoy receiving news and entertainment from the station and this motivated their planned gift to KMUW.

Consideration of a planned gift starts with your vision. What is your dream for the future of KMUW? With that in mind, we can help you structure a gift that is meaningful to both you and KMUW. And if the station already is in your estate plans, please let us know, so we can assure that your gift is used according to your wishes.

For more information, contact Natalie Olmsted, Director of Development for KMUW, at (316) 978-5401 or [email protected] or Mike Lamb, Vice President for Planned Giving at the WSU Foundation, at (316) 978-3804 or [email protected].
