Why leave a planned gift to NPR?
The foresight and support of our visionary supporters are making it possible for NPR to continue our mission for generations to come. Additionally, certain types of deferred gifts may provide current tax reductions, help avoid income tax, lower estate taxes, or provide income during the donor's lifetime.
We are so proud to share our listeners’ legacies.
