Stock & Securities

A gift of appreciated marketable stocks and securities to Blue Ridge Broadcasting, Inc. (BRB) provides you with significant tax advantages. You avoid capital gains taxes in the year your gift is given while potentially providing a charitable deduction for the fair-market value of your gift. Contact the Donor Ministries team at donor-ministries@brb.org or at (828) 285-8477 to give a gift today.   

If your securities have depreciated, it may be to your advantage to sell them first, then donate the proceeds to BRB. You may receive a tax deduction for your capital loss, in addition to receiving a charitable deduction for the amount donated.

You may also elect to make a gift of securities by naming BRB as a beneficiary, either through your will or through a beneficiary designation account at your security brokerage firms. While you will not receive a charitable contribution deduction on your income tax returns, you will reduce the size of your taxable estate. In addition, assets in a beneficiary designation account may avoid probate.

Contact the Donor Ministry team to confidentially answer any questions you may have, with no obligation on your part, by emailing: donor-ministries@brb.org.
