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.

As an undergraduate student and English major at UK during the 1990s, Roger Brown spent his summer breaks working as a counselor at the Life Adventure Camp. The center was founded by a small group of UK graduate students, two of whom are Brown’s parents. It provided five-day wilderness living experiences to low-income and special needs youth at a forested property in Estill County. Fast forward to today where the now UK alum and current faculty member uses his close ties to LAC to help foster resilience in individuals affected by trauma. He talks about it in this week’s Dr. Greg Davis on Medicine.
