Why Your Legacy Matters Now


Many faithful Catholics intend to include charitable gifts in their plans, yet often wait. In reality, most estate decisions are finalized within a short window of time.

Taking action now ensures that your intentions are honored and your legacy is secured!

Relevant Radio exists today because faithful supporters chose to think beyond their lifetime. Now it is your opportunity to do the same.

Start the Conversation

If you have already included Relevant Radio in your plans, we would be honored to know so we can thank you and pray for you.

If you are considering a planned gift, we are here to help guide you.

Other Ways to Give

If you would prefer to make a gift today, there are several additional options available:

Make a Pledge
If you will be making a future gift by mailing a check to our office or through other means like a Donor Advised Fund (DAF), use this pledge form. You can also make a cash gift through our main donation form.
Employer Matching Gifts
Multiply your impact through your employer's matching gift program.
Vehicle Donations
Donate cars, boats, motorcycles, RVs, and other vehicles through our vehicle donation program.
Gifts of Stock & Securities

Donate appreciated stocks, mutual funds, and other marketable securities for potential tax advantages while supporting the mission of Relevant Radio.

Transferring a gift of long-term appreciated stocks, owned for more than one year, can provide significant tax advantages by allowing you to deduct the fair market value while paying no capital gains tax.

Today, most stock transfers are easily made electronically from your brokerage account to the Relevant Radio account.

Please call 1-877-291-0123 and ask for Peggy Thordarson if you would like to know more.


Important Information

Selling your stocks first and donating the proceeds may cause you to miss out on these tax benefits. Selling depreciated stock and donating the proceeds may also be tax advantageous to some, since you can generally claim the reduced value as a loss on your tax return in addition to the charitable deduction for the donated proceeds.

We highly recommend seeking the guidance of a qualified financial planner, attorney, or accountant to determine the arrangements that best serve your financial needs and philanthropic goals.

Whether you are electronically transferring stock, mailing a stock certificate, or giving a mutual fund gift, please notify us. Knowledge of your gift allows us to track its progress, assign your gift correctly, and provide you with an acknowledgement letter for your tax records.

Real Estate Donations

Relevant Radio accepts donations of residential, commercial, and agricultural real estate, including single-family homes, condominiums, vacant land, and rental properties.

Donor Advised Funds and Foundations
Recommend a grant from charitable trusts and donor advised funds, or make a gift through your private foundation.
Direct Gifts from Individual Retirement Accounts
There can be considerable tax advantages to making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from a Traditional or Roth IRA directly to Relevant Radio.
These distributions can potentially count toward an account's Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
Please consult with a tax advisor or financial planner to better understand the requirements and benefits available under the current tax code.
