Other Ways to Give
WCNY’s Matching Gift Program involves hundreds of companies and organizations throughout Central and Northern New York and Southern Canada, that match donations made by their employees.
View participating companies to see if your company is listed. If it is, obtain a matching gift form from them and submit it with your gift to WCNY.
If not, contact your human resources department – they may still offer to match your gift or they may wish to contact WCNY Membership Services for more information at (315) 453-2424.

An honor or memorial gift is a meaningful way to make a tribute to a family member, friend or someone you admire. Gifts can be made to WCNY to honor friends and family members on special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, retirements or on the occasion of their passing.
Gifts in memory of loved ones who were touched by WCNY can help continue the tradition of exceptional programming in our community. Your honoree or their family will be informed of your memorial gift, and all honor and memorial gifts in any amount are tax-deductible.
For more information, please call (315) 453-2424.
Thinking about selling your car, boat, motorcycle, truck, or other vehicle? Donate it to WCNY instead!
Take part in our vehicle donation program and support the television and radio programs you love on WCNY, 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 pickup, at no cost to you. In fact, within just a few days of contacting us, we’ll have arranged for the pickup and your gift will be complete.
Once your vehicle has been sold, we’ll send you a receipt for your tax records and the sale proceeds will be donated to WCNY in your name. You can even apply those proceeds toward a one-year WCNY membership, if you wish.
Why not donate your vehicle today? All you need to do is complete our simple online form or call 1-866-628-2277 and we’ll take care of the rest. We will pick up your vehicle, arrange to have your donation towed, and provide you with a tax-deductible receipt, all at no charge to you.
Planned giving is one of the best opportunities for supporting the causes and communities you love — and it often comes with great personal and financial benefits!
The easiest way to create a planned gift is by including a bequest in your estate plan. Bequests cost nothing to give today but will support your favorite WCNY programming for years to come.
Courtesy of FreeWill, this free online tool helps you easily create a planned gift to support WCNY. You can protect what you love and write your legal will in 20 minutes or less, 100% for free. It can be used with an attorney for more complex needs and can help you include the necessary language to designate a gift in your plans.
