Plant the Seed to Your Legacy
Since joining PBS North Carolina four years ago, I have
enjoyed getting to know many of our legacy donors—the
supporters who have notified us that PBS North Carolina is in
their estate plan. We value every one of them!
In addition to sharing an appreciation of the programs and
services of our 66-year-old media organization, legacy donors
considered how to support both their family—and their
values—through their estate plan. Sometimes that idea starts
as a little seed, and our Legacy Society makes sure we’ll have a
forest to keep public media going for another 60 plus years.
Consider Joan and Monty, Legacy
Society members from the
Winston-Salem area. Travel has
always been a big part of their
lives, and PBS NC serves as a
reliable and ready resource for
just that, adding shoots and vines
to their travels and interactions with their community. Joan
and Monty are avid viewers of PBS NC’s history, travel and
lifestyle programs as well as PBS NewsHour and BBC News,
gleaning guidance and insight into the locations they visit.
While continuing annual support, Joan and Monty have also
included a gift in their will—creating branches for those who
come after. Monty explains, “PBS NC is a wonderful source
for information and ideas. We have learned so much from
watching it, and we want to do what we can to make sure it is
available for a long, long time. As a teacher, I appreciate and
value public television’s advocacy of knowledge.” Joan adds,
“PBS NC programming is a treasure, and it should not be
missed by future generations.”
If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll join Joan and Monty in
planning your estate. October 18-24 is National Estate Planning
Awareness Week, an annual effort sponsored by professional
estate planning advisors, and PBS affiliates across the country
join this cause. This month we ask you to Plant the Seed,
reminding you to make an estate plan and begin the journey
to grow your legacy—allowing the seeds you plant to grow
into a branching tree that shades, nourishes and strengthens
future generations to come. If you already have PBS NC in your
estate plan, please let me know—I’d (we’d) like to thank you.
Please take a moment to request our complimentary
guidebook, “Planning Your Legacy,” by going
to pbsnc.org/planttheseed. Or contact me at
giftplanning@pbsnc.org or 877-485-3200. How can we help
you provide for your family and the future of North Carolina
by starting with a tiny seed?
Growing together,
Warren Bingham, Planned Giving Officer
