Other Ways to Support KLRN
You can share your appreciation for KLRN's high-quality programming, education and outreach in many ways. Thank you for your continued support!
Donating Through Your IRA
Make an Immediate, Tax-Efficient Impact with Your IRA. Donors 70 ½ years or older can transfer funds from your IRA directly to Alamo Public Telecommunications Council (dba KLRN)—this is called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). QCDs are an effective way to support the future of public television while also potentially reducing the amount of income tax you owe.
As always, we encourage you to seek the advice of professional advisors to understand how retirement funds may be used for charitable giving for your situation.
Helpful information for your advisors:
KLRN is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. Our tax ID number is 74-2461534.
Legal Name:
Alamo Public Telecommunications Council (dba KLRN)
Address:
501 Broadway St
San Antonio, TX 78215
*Because the IRS requires that you receive no goods or services in exchange for your QCD, you are not eligible for thank you gifts.
Gifts of Stock
Stock or mutual funds that have been held longer than one year and have appreciated in value may be donated to KLRN or The KLRN Endowment Fund, Inc. and may provide you with tax savings.
When you give appreciated stock or securities, you avoid paying capital-gains tax on the increased value of your asset. You may also be entitled to a charitable tax deduction for the full fair market value of your stock. When considering gifts of stock, we recommend you consult with your financial advisor.
To make a current gift of stock, please contact Lauren Esquivel, Vice President of Institutional Advancement, at (210) 208-8446 or lesquivel@klrn.org.

Donate your car
Thinking about selling your car, boat, motorcycle, truck, or other vehicle? Donate it to KLRN instead, and receive a tax deduction when you itemize your return.
All you need is a clear title, and we'll take care of the rest, including pick–up, at no cost to you. Once your vehicle has been sold, you'll be sent a receipt for your tax records, and the sale proceeds will be donated to KLRN in your name.
Donate real estate
If you have a land, residential, or commercial real estate asset that is unused or costing you money, consider giving back to the station you love by donating it to KLRN. As a result, you may also be eligible for a significant tax deduction!
Properties in any location, condition and format are eligible for donation to KLRN. Back taxes, mortgage balances, and deferred maintenance do not prohibit your ability to donate. Our program covers all loans, liens, commissions, and closing costs so long as there is equity in the property.
KLRN is PBS. No one else does what we do.
