Individual Giving…You Make the Difference.

One of the most important sources of income for WSHU is you. Support from individual listeners represents over 60% of our entire annual budget, and is responsible for keeping NPR News, classical music, and entertainment programs on our air. If you enjoy what you hear, please join the community of folks who make it all possible by making a contribution. Pledge now.

There are several ways you can make a difference as an individual:

• Individual Giving: Make a first contribution, renew, or make an additional gift.
• Club Level Giving: Join the Broadcast Society or Leadership Circle.
• Matching Gifts: Your employer can support your favorite programs, too.
• Donor-Advised Funds: Support us through your private foundation.
• Planned Giving: Help guarantee WSHU’s future.
• Vehicle Donation: Your old wheels can help, too.

Whether you’re making your first-ever gift to WSHU, renewing, or making an additional gift, your dollars directly impact the programming you listen to. In fact, WSHU depends on the consistent, annual contributions of our listeners. Online gifts are the most efficient way to support us (they reduce paperwork and mailing costs) but we appreciate your mailed gifts and telephone pledges, too.

There are three easy ways to support WSHU:

• Pledge via our secure server
• Mail your gift to: WSHU Public Radio, Sacred Heart University, 5151 Park Avenue, Fairfield, CT 06825
• Call toll-free: 800.777.9748

All gifts are tax deductible.
