Consider joining the community of people who want public television to continue to educate, illuminate and inspire.

BURTON DUFFIE,
retired educator

"I had an old investment, which would have generated a substantial tax liability if sold. By establishing a gift annuity I was able to support WPBT and increase my income without paying a large immediate capital gains tax."

Channel 2 is South Florida’s only community-owned public television station. With audiences reaching from Vero Beach to Key West and throughout the Caribbean, Channel 2 brings the best that television has to offer into nearly one million homes every week.

Now a legacy of artistic acclaim and educational excellence, Channel 2 provides a safe place for children to learn and grow, ground-breaking documentaries and unparalleled dramatic and performing arts programs.

Channel 2’s dedication to the community is greater than ever now, as the station continues the mission it began fi fty years ago - to make a difference in people’s lives.

To assure the future of WPBT, please consider a gift to establish a Charitable Gift Annuity that will benefit you, your family, and future generations of WPBT viewers.

One of the Charitable Gift Annuity’s best features is its simplicity. Gift Annuities are contracts between WPBT and the donor featuring:

  • Payments for life
  • A substantial charitable tax deduction
  • Avoidance of immediate capital gains tax
  • No fees to establish the annuity
  • Membership in the James I. Keller Society which recognizes donors who have remembered WPBT in their estate plans.
