Please consider making a fully tax-deductible gift to the Paley Center. It will support so much good work here, from interactive classes for K-12 students that promote media literacy and STEM learning, to the preservation and digitization of the incomparable Paley Archive of 160,000 television and radio programs, to year-round programming featuring thought leaders and the biggest names shaping media today.
Other Ways to Give
Annual Benefit, Paley Honors
The Paley Honors is our annual benefit fundraiser each year in New York and Los Angeles.
Tributes and Memorials
Gifts can be made as a special tribute to or in memory of a family member, friend, or colleague. These gifts will be acknowledged to the tribute recipient or the memorial honoree's family. Gifts of $1,000 or more will be listed on the Paley Center’s website.
Please use the comments field on the online donation form to specify the text of your memorial or tribute, or call Rachel Risso-Gill at 212.621.6612.
Planned Giving
Please consider including the Paley Center in your estate plans. These planned gifts are crucial for our future as we strive to preserve modern history captured by media for future generations of media enthusiasts, educators, and students. These gifts don’t have to be complicated, and can benefit you and your family as well.
A bequest can be just a simple designation in your will and will not affect your cash flow during your lifetime. Other types of gifts can increase your income, provide a cash stream, or even give you a tax deduction for items that you can no longer use or maintain. A planned gift can also provide benefits to your family and loved ones.
