Support WKAR

WKAR Radio ended its Spring into Action membership campaign Monday night with a final total of $137,333, exceeding our goal of $135,000. 

Here's a big "thank you" to everyone who made a contribution in support of the programming you enjoy year-round on WKAR. 

If you missed your chance to contribute during the campaign, you can still Give Now here at WKAR.org. 

"I've been a supporter since I was a student here at Michigan State."

"I am a huge fan of your morning host, Melissa. I wake up to her every morning."

Join WKAR Radio and listeners like you who are keeping quality radio on the air in Mid-Michigan. Give Now at WKAR.org

We hope you were one of over 100,000 viewers who had a chance to enjoy some of the finest public television programming during WKAR Pledge Madness.  The recent weeks gave us an opportunity to showcase the quality programming WKAR brings to households throughout Mid-Michigan.

And it was an opportunity for viewers like you to show support for that programming.

Over $175,000 was raised during WKAR Pledge Madness to help keep quality TV on the air in Mid-Michigan.

Wow. We can't thank WKAR supporters enough.

If you gave during WKAR Pledge Madness -- WKAR and the Mid-Michigan community thank you.

WKAR was selected by members of the University Club of MSU to compete in their "Big Bang-Quet" $10,000 Community Charity Challenge. WKAR is one of 26 mid-Michigan organizations asking the public for their votes to help us win a $10,000 credit towards a fundraising event held in the University Club's newly renovated dining room.

The program is conducted by the University Club of MSU in conjunction with the Capital region Community Foundation (CRCF) and sponsored by the MSU Federal Credit Union.

A "vote" is a $5 tax-deductible donation to the Capital Region Community Foundation. Votes can be cast online through Friday, March 16, HERE.

As a WKAR-TV member, you don't simply watch public television programs.

You help WKAR produce, purchase and broadcast programs you care about and enjoy -- every day of the year! Your gift makes it all possible.

Consider joining the select group of companies and organizations who partner with WKAR each year.

Volunteering for WKAR is a great way to meet new people and help support your public broadcasting stations!

Gifts to WKAR are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Until December 31, 2011 gifts to public broadcasting are eligible for a State of Michigan Tax Credit. The credit expires on December 31, 2011.

A personal trust may be the ideal solution when you would like to make a gift to WKAR, but first must satisfy your own family's financial needs.

 Through the creative process of having planned giving strategies incorporated within your comprehensive estate plans, you can fulfill philanthropic goals, reduce income taxes, avoid capital gain and estate taxes, retain a life income, increase spendable income, and reduce costs of estate settlement, all while enjoying the satisfaction of providing significant future financial support for WKAR designated per your wishes.

Current gifts and pledges, often made in conjunction with planned giving strategies, can have a direct and immediate impact on WKAR in general or on programming and services of your choice.
