Standing Strong: One Year of 100% Community Funding
It has been one year since the decision to eliminate federal funding for public media. It was a moment that could have compromised the future of independent journalism in our community. But one year into this new chapter, WUNC remains strong, constant, and completely powered by listeners and readers like you.
For 50 years, WUNC has provided trusted journalism, local storytelling, and deep community connection. You're here because you believe that public media should remain a vital, independent source for news and information for our community. Now is the time to act.
As we reflect on the last year without federal funding, we are also looking to the future. Will you make your contribution now to ensure WUNC remains a free, trusted source for North Carolina into the next year and beyond?

“As a former attorney and current public school librarian, I can say that our democracy depends on the free flow of information, beginning with the dedicated journalism of a free press. Supporting public radio is a must. Thank you!.” - Sharon, a WUNC supporter from Durham
