Why your support matters
WFDD no longer receives federal funding, so the people and businesses of this region keep us on the air. Because the community funds us, we answer to you. That's what lets you trust our reporting to be honest, well-researched and fact-checked.
Listener support also keeps WFDD free for everyone. You can listen and read our stories anytime, with no paywall. Monthly gifts are the steadiest support of all: they make budgeting easier and help us plan year-round.
Why give monthly
Thank-you gifts, spread out
Want a WFDD T-shirt or another thank-you gift? You don't need a big one-time gift during a Fund Drive. Start at a monthly amount that includes one, or raise the gift you already give.
Fewer asks
No renewal letters in the mail, and you can tune out the Fund Drive pitches. You've already done your part for the year.
Sustainer extras
You're automatically entered in every Fund Drive drawing, and we email you about concert and ticket giveaways. They go fast.
Always in your control
Change, pause or cancel anytime. One Annual Giving Statement covers the whole year at tax time.
