More Ways to Give

Memorial and Tribute Gifts

KET is humbled that you want to honor or remember someone special in such a meaningful way. KET will send you an acknowledgment for your tax-deductible donation and also inform the person or family of your thoughtfulness. Thank you for choosing KET for your kind tribute and for supporting the programming and educational services of KET.

To make a gift, please provide the following information:

• Whether this gift is in honor or memory of someone special, and their name
• Contact information for the person you are honoring, or family member for a memorial
• Your name, address, phone number and gift amount

Vehicle Donation

Support KET by donating your car, truck, boat, motorcycle, or RV, essentially turning something you don’t need into something you want — quality programs on KET. KET picks up the vehicle, at no cost, and once it has been sold at auction, the sale proceeds are donated to KET in your name. You will also receive a one-year membership to KET.

Your qualified charitable distributions can satisfy all or part the amount of your required minimum distribution from your IRA, and help you avoid unwanted increases to your income tax.

To make a qualified charitable distribution, please notify your plan administrator of your desire to make a gift directly from your IRA to Kentucky Educational Television (EIN 61-1285473). Checks can be sent to the following address:

Commonwealth Fund for KET

To ensure your gift is processed in a timely manner, it’s important that we know your IRA gift is on the way. Please notify Kacie Miller | Director of Philanthropy | 859-258-7206 | kmiller@ket.org.

Volunteer

Volunteers are the heart and soul of KET. Each year, some 1,000 friends share their time, talents, and inspiration to help make KET stronger. During on-air pledge drives, individuals or groups from various businesses, schools, community and civic organizations create the magic of live television.

KET also presents 20 or more events a year statewide, all in need of volunteer support. Volunteers are welcome on committees (logistics, silent auction, or sponsorship) for annual events in Louisville, Lexington, and Northern Kentucky.

In-Kind Donations

The KET family includes businesses and restaurants who make tax-deductible, in-kind gifts of food, auction items, event rentals and decorations, printing, building maintenance, office supplies, and more — all of which contribute to the treasure of KET. In return for your donation, you will receive print, web, and on-air recognition, and your generosity enables KET to pass the savings on to those we service.
