This is your annual opportunity to support the WUKY Listeners’ Endowment Fund. TODAY ONLY all donations at WUKY.org will be deposited into this special Endowment fund.
Think of the Listeners’ Endowment as a savings account; because we may only spend income from the endowment, each gift remains invested and will benefit WUKY every year going forward. In 2025, we will use these funds to pay for the Marketplace Morning Report and All Things Considered broadcast for the entire month of April. As the endowment grows, we will be able to keep pace with the rising costs of doing business and subsidize a larger part of our operating budget.
Your gift, in every way, is an investment in the future of WUKY.
