Getting Started

Including Buffalo Toronto Public Media in your charitable plans is a simple process.
 

Decide where to designate your gift:

• A gift in your estate plan to Western New York Public Broadcasting Association will support general operations in the fiscal year in which they are received.

• A gift in your estate plan to The WNED Foundation, Inc. will help to grow our endowment. All endowment funds are invested and managed professionally. Each year the Board of Trustees of the Foundation appropriates a portion of the investment portfolio’s earnings to help sustain Buffalo Toronto Public Media’s ongoing operations and programming.
