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?

Make a Lasting Impact: Become a Sustainer. The best way to protect public radio from future uncertainty is with reliable support. By choosing a monthly donation, you will become a WUNC Sustainer, providing the steady foundation of support that allows WUNC to serve our community every day. Sustainers are also automatically entered into all WUNC drawings, including a trip for two to the destination of your choice, which we are giving away right now! Please visit WUNC’s website for full drawing rules.

Thank you for your support of WUNC today!
