After over 40 years of service to the High Plains, there are now two generations of backseat listeners who grew up listening to HPPR from their childhood car seats and now continue to have public radio as part of their life. Making a planned gift to HPPR will ensure that public radio continues to be part of the quality of life in your community and across the High Plains for generations to come.
Your bequest can leave your community a legacy of in-depth news and information, timeless music, informed discussion, civil dialogue, and curious inquiry about the wider world. And it will be a legacy that reaches residents at home, at work, on the road and in the fields, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for years to come.

Transferring appreciated stocks and securities to High Plains Public Radio is a good way to make a charitable gift that can benefit you in two ways. When you donate publicly traded stocks to HPPR that have been held long-term (more than one year) you may avoid capital gains taxes. Plus, you may take the full current fair market value of the security (as of the date it is transferred) as a charitable deduction on your income taxes .
The easiest way to make this kind of gift to HPPR is to have your broker electronically transfer the stock from your account to ours:
There are three ways you can use your IRA to support public radio on the High Plains, depending on your age and circumstances.
If you are 70½ years old or older and usually take a required minimum distribution from your IRA account, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit High Plains Public Radio and receive tax benefits in return. You can give up to $100,000 from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as HPPR without having to pay income taxes on the money. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD).
