Why Your Support Matters

WFDD is your public radio station. We exist because of listener support. Approximately 90 % of our budget comes from the community, and there’s power in that. Why? Because we’re only beholden to you, not to corporate interests, and that means that listener support ensures our journalistic integrity. It means you can absolutely trust that our reporting is true, honest, factual, well-researched, and fact-checked.

Listener support is also what keeps our service free and available to everyone. At a time when misinformation and disinformation are rampant, it’s essential that trustworthy information is freely accessible. You can listen to WFDD and read stories on our website anytime, and will never encounter a paywall. That’s why it means so much when you do give. It makes a powerful statement about what you hold dear and about the value you believe a strong public radio station brings to a community.

We are the protectors of democracy and civic space; the place where you will encounter a variety of perspectives and where you always find civil discourse; the place where you know that even the most difficult stories will be presented without sensationalism and will show you the human side of news. That is all made possible by listeners. That’s why your support matters.
