Ways to Support NCPR

More than 4332 households demonstrate their commitment to NCPR with membership donations. Total community giving during fiscal year 2007 reached $1,486,435. That's the total support we receive from individuals, organizations and businesses *74% of our total revenue for the year.

We turn to people like you to fund programs that address listener needs and reflect the character and intelligence of our communities.

The most common way to show that support is to become a member, to give an annual contribution to support the station's services. Those who are able to be especially generous achieve recognition as leadership donors.

Businesses support NCPR and get their name and message to the ears of a broad North Country audience by becoming a program underwriter.

You can help the station continue to serve you and your neighbors by including North Country Public Radio in your philanthropic plans. We believe that radio can and should be directed to the greater good and that NCPR is an essential regional service-reaching out to North Country residents regardless of income, education, or occupation with programs that inspire, inform, teach and entertain. Donation to the NCPR Endowment helps project that service into the future.

You can also support NCPR with the most precious gift, your time. Volunteers fill many roles at the station, from answering phones during pledge drives to climbing Blue Mountain to give the transmitter a therapeutic whack.

For more information on supporting NCPR, your public radio, e-mail our membership director, June Peoples june@ncpr.org, or call the station toll-free at 1-877-388-6277.

*Licensee support adds another 5%; Federal funding provides 23%; another 7% comes from the New York State Education Department and 1% from Studio and other income. We rely on St. Lawrence University, foundation, and government sources to fund our facility, equipment, and personnel costs.
