The end of the year is a great time to donate and squeeze in those last minute tax write-offs. Show your love for VPM before the year ends!
Become a Sustaining Member
Every little bit helps! A sustaining donation of just $5 or more per month supports VPM programming and gives you access to VPM Passport, where you can stream your favorite VPM and PBS programs anytime, any place.
Make a One-Time Donation
How much do you value VPM? Our programming comes to you at no charge, but without community support our work is not possible. Consider a one-time gift to show your support for those programs that mean the most to YOU!
Donate a Vehicle
Have a vehicle you no longer use? Want to clear some space in your garage or driveway? You can donate a variety of vehicles to benefit VPM—cars, trucks, trailers, motorcycles, boats and more!
Day Sponsorship
With a donation of $365 or more, you can honor a friend, colleague, loved one or special occasion on any day of your choice (pending availability) with a special radio message that will air six times over the course of the day.
Giving Through a Donor-Advised Fund
Donor-advised funds allow you to be flexible in your charitable giving decisions, as the timing of the tax deduction can be separate from the recommendation to support a specific charity. When you make a donation to a donor-advised fund, you are generally eligible for an immediate tax deduction. You can then recommend grants to IRS-qualified 501(c)(3) public charities during time periods that make the most sense for you. To recommend a gift from your donor advised fund, please alert your fund holder that our legal name is VPM Media Corporation (VPM) and our Federal Tax ID# (EIN): 54-0735782.
IRA/Required Minimum Distribution
The IRA Charitable Rollover permits individuals aged 72 (73 if you reach age 72 after 12/31/22) or older to make distributions up to $100,000 from a traditional Individual Retirement Account or ROTH IRA directly to charitable organizations like VPM. Your plan administrator will need the following information to complete the donations:
Legal name: VPM Media Corporation (VPM)
Federal Tax ID# (EIN): 54-0735782
Mailing address: VPM (Attn: Development), 23 Sesame Street, Richmond, VA 23235
Gift of Stock
Donating securities that have been held for a year or more can offer the potential for a double tax benefit— a full fair market value tax deduction and elimination of capital gains taxes. Please let us know of your pending gift of appreciated stock so we can appropriately credit your gift once it arrives. Your broker will need the following information to complete the donation:
Federal Tax ID# (EIN): 54-0735782
