Estate Gifts
Contributing through your estate plan is a meaningful way to support Northwest Public Broadcasting’s mission and ensure quality programming for future generations. Your planned gift can create a lasting legacy that continues to inform, inspire, and connect communities for years to come.
Make a Gift Through Your Will or Trust
You want to leave money to Northwest Public Broadcasting in your will or trust. You also want the flexibility to change your will in the event that life circumstances change. You can do both.
In as little as one sentence, you can complete your gift. This type of donation to NWPB (through its parent organization, WSU) in your will or living trust helps ensure that we continue our mission for years to come.

*A Gift Use Agreement (“GUA”)is the governing gift instrument between you and the WSU Foundation/WSU/NWPB that addresses specifics on when and how your gift will be used. If you wish the gifted amount to be held as a permanent endowment, this desire needs to be expressly stated in the GUA or other gift instrument. An endowment is invested and a percentage is distributed each year while the remaining is reinvested to ensure the gift continues to payout into perpetuity. You may amend the GUA without the necessity of amending your Will or Revocable Living Trust.
If your estate includes payment from IRD assets (Income in Respect of a Decedent—such as IRAs, retirement plan assets, savings bonds, and installment contracts), using of this type of asset to satisfy your charitable gift to Northwest Public Broadcasting may produce the best income tax result for the other beneficiaries of your estate. Please consult your attorney for language to best accomplish your goals. You also may wish to discuss with your attorney any advisable coordination between beneficiary designations and your Will or Revocable Living Trust (e.g., see suggested language below).
“I have designated the Washington State University Foundation (WSU Foundation) as a beneficiary of my retirement plan or individual retirement account to receive a gift of not less than $ (Minimum Gift Amount). In the event the actual gift amount from this beneficiary designation docs not equal or exceed the Minimum Gift Amount, I make a specific bequest in an amount equal to the difference between the Minimum Gift Amount and the actual gift amount to the WSU Foundation. For purposes of determining the amount of this gift, any and all beneficiary designations naming either Washington State University, WSU Foundation, or Northwest Public Broadcasting shall be considered collectively.”
