WERU’s Summer Membership Drive happened August 1-8. After the end of federal support for public media in 2025, including WERU, our listener support went up to 80% of our annual fundraising, which is wonderful! Now we are trying to maintain that higher level of local support, and you our listeners are really coming through with over $65,000 in contributions! Thank you for all the gifts made last week (and that continue to come in)! And if you didn’t get a chance to donate during the drive you can give online anytime by clicking here! Listener support for WERU is alive and well, thanks to you!
