Estate Giving
Create a personal legacy and make a lasting impact.
WRFI is hands-on, homegrown radio. We empower, inform, and connect people and communities in the Finger Lakes and beyond by amplifying local and under-represented perspectives, music, and cultures.
By including WRFI Community Radio in your estate giving, you can create a meaningful legacy that supports WRFI’s mission without affecting your current income or savings. There are several ways to make a lasting difference through estate giving.
Wherever you are, your gift supports a platform as unique and beautiful as Ithaca and the Finger Lakes.
Will or Trust
Want to preserve your assets during your lifetime but still make a difference? You can name WRFI as a beneficiary in your will or trust. By telling us about your estate gift now, we can celebrate your legacy today and acknowledge your generosity in helping secure the future of WRFI. Most importantly, we can make sure your gift will be used as you intend.
