Ways To Support Public Radio East
There are many different ways to support your favorite programs on Public Radio East. The methods below provide details on making a range of donations; from a one time gift to a lasting legacy.
Whether you would like to make a one-time gift or a monthly donation as a PRE sustaining member, your contribution helps make independent, fact-based journalism and beautiful classical music available for everyone in eastern North Carolina and beyond.
The thought of selling your vehicle can be overwhelming, but donating is surprisingly easy. Pick-up is free; your donation is tax-deductible; and best of all, you can support Public Radio East at the same time. Proceeds from the sale of your car, truck, boat, RV, or motorcycle can help PRE broadcast your favorite programs.
Public Radio East accepts donations of real estate assets in any location or condition, covering all associated costs as long as there is equity in the property. Donating unused or burdensome property is an easy way to support PRE and may provide a significant tax benefit.
If you are 70½ or older, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA may help you reduce your taxable income and help Public Radio East at the same time.
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) allows you to combine the tax benefits of giving with the flexibility to support the causes you care about most.

If you own stock, it is often more tax-wise to contribute stock instead of cash. A gift of appreciated stock generally offers a two-fold tax saving. First, you avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value of the stock. Second, you receive an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the gift.
Remembering the Public Radio East Foundation in your Will or Trust will provide a lasting legacy that will affect thousands of others for years to come. The rewards go beyond the tax savings that can result from your gift. Through planned giving, it is possible to make gifts to Public Radio East that you might have previously thought impossible.
