Planned Giving: Leave a Legacy of Music

By including Classical KCME in your estate plans, you help ensure that classical music remains a vital and accessible part of our community for generations to come.

Classical KCME is operated by Cheyenne Mountain Public Broadcast House (CMPBH), a Colorado nonprofit public broadcasting organization. Planned gifts to CMPBH may be designated to support Classical KCME, Jazz 93.5, or the general mission of the organization.

Gifts Through Wills or Trusts

A bequest through a will or living trust is one of the simplest and most common ways to make a planned gift. You may choose to leave:

• A specific dollar amount

• A percentage of your estate

• A residual gift after other obligations are met

Bequests may be unrestricted or designated for a specific purpose or station.

Benefits of a Bequest

Bequests are generally revocable and may be modified at any time. They are also exempt from federal estate taxes and may reduce the taxable value of your estate, potentially allowing you to provide more for loved ones while supporting the music you value.

Gifts Through Life Insurance

You may name Cheyenne Mountain Public Broadcast House as the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Depending on the structure of the gift, premium payments or the value of a paid-up policy may be tax deductible.

Life Estate Gifts

A life estate gift allows you to donate a future interest in your residence, vacation home, or farm while continuing to use the property for your lifetime (and that of a spouse or partner). You may receive a charitable tax deduction at the time of the gift.
