Individual Support
WBAA Supporter: Scott Frankenberger with pottery wheel
I am a self-employed potter and work most of the day in the studio next to my home. I enjoy the varied programming offerings that WBAA dishes up each day, including weekends (we of the self-employed do really CHOOSE to work weekends, you know). The mix of news, talk, music, special programming, Weekend Edition, Whad'Ya Know, and Prairie Home Companion keep the wandering part of my mind in check while my creative mind concentrates on the work in hand. I find the offerings stimulating, in-depth, even-handed, and often inspiring. Now & then I have to stop working to write down a website, a name, or an author to check on later. Without WBAA I would either have to continually feed my low-tech CD player, or (shudder) find some other local radio station, and "find" is the operative word.... I don't know where any of them are on the scanner since I stopped listening to any of them a long time ago. WBAA features good food for the mind every day. At the end of each day I feel I have learned a lot, and perhaps some of that new spirit works its way through my neurons, down my arms, and into my pottery and artwork.

 Hi! I am Laura Edwards, WBAA’s development director. I am pleased that you would like more information on how you can help support WBAA’s efforts of engaging, educating, and entertaining our community. As you may be aware, WBAA is listener-supported public radio from Purdue University. Listener donations in the form of membership pay for the expenses of carrying a diverse lineup of top-quality programs. When you make a membership contribution to WBAA, your tax-deductible gift supports program favorites like Morning Edition, All Things Considered, or The Diane Rehm Show. It could be that you enjoy tuning in during our Classical Music, Jazz, or the World Café. Or perhaps you listen avidly to Car Talk, A Prairie Home Companion, Sunday Baroque, or This American Life while relaxing on the weekends. No matter if AM 920 or FM 101.3 is your favorite on the dial, we hope you enjoy WBAA.
Financial contributions from listeners and corporate supporters are WBAA’s largest and most reliable source of income. During our last fiscal year, membership contributions and corporate support accounted for almost 48% of our station’s operating budget. When it comes to paying for programming, membership accounts for over 80% of that budget. Your gift, every gift, is vital to WBAA.
Contributions of any amount will be used carefully and are appreciated. If you are able to make a gift at the $120+ level, you will receive the WBAA MemberCard. Pledge now to see all the great thank you gifts WBAA has to offer.
There are three ways that you can donate to WBAA:
Online. Our new pledge page is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your transaction is simple and secure, and you will have the option to either make a pledge and be billed or use a major credit or debit card to pay for your gift immediately.
