Planned Giving to Baltimore Public Media

Make Public Media Part of Your Legacy

By including Baltimore Public Media in your estate plans, naming BPM as a beneficiary of your IRA or life insurance policy, establishing a charitable trust or making another planned gift, you can help ensure that future generations continue to have access to trusted local journalism, independent music discovery and meaningful connections to their community.

A Gift for the Future 

We rely on the generosity of listeners to fulfill our mission. A planned gift can help ensure that Baltimore Public Media continues to inform, inspire and serve Marylanders well into the future.
