Donor-Advised Funds

If you have a donor-advised fund and would like to recommend a gift to SOPBS, please instruct your DAF custodian to make checks payable to Southern Oregon Public Television, Inc., and mail to the following address: 

Mailing Address: SOPBS
Attn: Colleen Pyke 
28 South Fir Street; Suite 200
Medford, OR  97501

The SOPBS Employer Identification Number (EIN) is 93-0669529.

Please keep in mind that when making a gift through your donor-advised fund, IRS rules prohibit you receiving goods or services in exchange for your gift; therefore, you are not eligible to receive a thank-you gift when giving via a donor-advised fund.

Charitable IRAs

If you’re over 70½, you may be able to transfer up to $100,000 from your IRA to Southern Oregon PBS without paying any federal income tax. Your gift can be made simply by notifying your IRA plan custodian of your intent to make a current transfer to SOPBS. For more information on how to make an IRA gift, please contact Colleen Pyke at 541.200.2867 or cpyke@sopbs.org.

For information on how giving through an IRA will impact your taxes, contact your tax consultant.

Stock And Securities

Another way to make a major gift to SOPBS is gift of stock. Donations of appreciated securities may produce an immediate tax deduction and savings on capital gains taxes. To transfer stock, please contact Colleen Pyke at 541.200.2867 or cpyke@sopbs.org.

For information on how stock gifts will impact your taxes, contact your tax consultant.

Charitable Gift Annuities

A charitable gift annuity is a way you can make a gift to your favorite charity and receive fixed payments for life in return. The payments can begin immediately or can be deferred to a future date that you choose.
