You count on WEMU to stay informed, engaged, entertained, and connected.
But WEMU can only remain independent and strong with your support behind it
That’s why we ask you to make a special year-end donation by midnight, December 31, to help power all the goals and values that you share with the mission of WEMU. We are currently at 75% of our six-month $400,000 goal and need to end December at 100%.
As the WEMU year-end budget deadline draws near, we ask you to recognize the way that WEMU delivers essential news, issues, music, and culture freely to everyone all across our region. Free of polarizing political bias. Free of commercial and corporate agendas. Independent and fact based and directly relevant to our local Washtenaw County community. And the freedom to program music that reflects our vibrant local culture.
Then, please make a special contribution to help assure the strength of WEMU’s independent voice in the critical months ahead.
So much depends on your support. All of the programming you hear on WEMU; the voices from NPR and our own local hosts are paid directly from grants, individuals, and businesses. All of it.
Your monthly gift helps us budget ahead. Your major gift of $10,000 or more helps offset the $121,000 annual bill to NPR which includes satellite fees, dues, digital services like WEMU.org, and the programs you count on like Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me, among others.
A legacy or estate gift assures the future of WEMU. A gift of stock can be converted for immediateuse. You can designate WEMU as a beneficiary of your IRA mandated rollover or use your donor-advised fund to support your community NPR station. You can even donate your old car!
Your individual gift, added to thousands of others, makes a huge difference to WEMU. There is strength in volume. You can make your gift by clicking the link above, calling us at 734-487-2229 during business hours, or mailing a check to PO Box 980350, Ypsilanti, MI 48198-0350.
The decision is yours. The reward is mutual. Your contribution today helps ensure that the news, insights, music, and culture you receive from WEMU continue to thrive. Pleasedonate now as we strive to close the year at goal, ready for any challenge in the year ahead.
Thank you,
Your WEMU Team
