Matching Gifts

Your company may match your gift to MontanaPBS and increase the total amount of your contribution. Review the list of companies below. If you are a current or retired employee of one of these companies, they may match your gift. If your company is not listed, ask your personnel department if they have a matching gift program. Many do.

If this is an option for you, send a copy of your completed matching gift form to MontanaPBS and we'll take care of the rest.

You make the donation, we receive the proceeds of the sale, minus the costs.  We gladly accept cars, trucks, motorcycles, RV's, campers and even some farm machinery.  Your donation supports Friends of MontanaPBS -- and you may be able to take a tax deduction.

Just call toll-free 1-866-628-2277.  When you call, please let the person who answers know the vehicle's mileage and other particulars (make, model, year, color).  We will arrange for pick-up at your home or office.  There are no towing or other charges. Typically, your vehicle will be picked up in four days or so, but you may also have the option of delivering it to a specified location.

To donate a vehicle, it must be clear of liens or assignments; you need a clear title - a title with your name as owner.

You may be eligible for a tax deduction equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the donated vehicle.  Contact your tax advisor about the possible tax deduction.

Many of our members choose to give through volunteering. There are many ways to volunteer, from serving on our Friends of MontanaPBS board, to helping with pledge drives and special events. There are opportunities for groups and individuals. Please call the Director of Development at 406-994-3437 for more information.
