Dear Public Radio 90 Members, As we head into the homestretch of our fundraising year, which ends

June 30, I want to thank you for your tremendous commitment and dedication to sustaining a local public radio station here in our upper Great Lakes region.

Listeners like you provide 53¢ of every dollar spent to operate WNMU, Public Radio 90 and pay for the programs you value. So you can see how much your financial support matters.

If you’ve been thinking about giving a major gift to WNMU now is a good time to do it. If you are establishing your will or trust, please consider including Public Radio 90 on your list of beneficiaries. Or consider a Sustaining Membership by authorizing automatic monthly payments for an indefinite time through your checking, savings, or credit card account.

You’re doing a great job of proving that listeners can and will make a difference, and I’m proud to announce that when our April Preview went to press we needed just over $124,000 to reach our fundraising goal for the year and maintain station operations through 2018.

As a loyal member of Public Radio 90, you know that one of Upper Michigan’s treasures is as close as your radio—the rich variety of programs you hear on WNMU-FM.

Thank you for doing your part to keep this valuable resource here for us all to enjoy!

Warm Regards,

Evelyn Massaro, Station Manager

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:

How long does it take for my withdrawals to start? It takes approximately one month from the time we receive your authorization form for your first payment to be transferred from your bank/credit union account or charged to your credit card.

How can I increase my installment amount? You can change your Sustaining Membership financial commitment at any time by calling Member-ship Services at 800 227-9668. You can also authorize the inflation guard option when you sign up for your Sustaining Membership, which will automatically increase your annual contribution by 10% each year. For example your $10 per month contribution would automatically increase to $11 per month the following year. You will also have the opportunity to upgrade your contribution amount each year when you receive your membership anniversary letter.

Is my contribution still tax deductible? Yes! We will send you a tax receipt every January stating your total contributions from the previous year and the fair market value of any thank-you gifts you received during that calendar year.

Can I still get a thank you gift with my Sustaining Membership? Yes, in fact you qualify for a thank you gift every year according to your giving level. If you choose Day Sponsors, we can even auto renew your dates for you every year so you don’t have to remem-ber to schedule them. Just be sure to request that we auto renew your Day Sponsor dates when your membership is renewed.

Is my contribution still eligible for a match if I work for a Matching Gift company? Yes, typically the matching form is processed following your final installment payment. Please be sure to send us your Matching Gift form as soon as possible. Indicate the full amount of your contribution on the form, not each individual payment amount.

How do I stop my automatic transfers if necessary? To stop your Sustaining Membership, simply call Membership Services at 800-227-WNMU (9668), or send us a request in writing. DO NOT notify your bank or credit union directly. They will often charge you for these services, while Public Radio 90 will do it at no charge.
