Adopt-A-Program
With a fully tax-deductible gift of $500, you can “adopt” a single television episode or radio broadcast with personal significance. You can choose from the Paley Center's 160,000 program collection—the foremost public archive of its kind. Each time your “adopted” program is viewed by a guest in the Paley Center’s library, your name or the name of the gift recipient will be listed as a contributor. Your gift will support everything we do here at Paley, from preserving our media library to championing innovative education initiatives and funding public programs that showcase the finest in television, digital content, and interactive entertainment. There is no better way to honor a loved one.
A full catalog of our collection is available in the Paley Center archive, and you can search the holdings in our collection online:

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.
