Public radio fills a void in that it offers high quality, diverse and valued public service radio programming in order to deepen curiosity and encourage further exploration and personal growth. WUMB is committed to serving as a local and national resource for the cultivation, promotion and preservation of various genres of folk music through its high quality radio programming and select special events and enterprises.

The following pages will offer ideas as to how you can be a part - truly, a partner - in the shaping, developing, and encouragement of this type of broadcasting content. Your gifts and support of WUMB will do more than just ensure quality programming; aside from tax deductions, you will also experience the personal and emotional rewards that come with helping to secure the future of quality broadcasting at this public radio station.

There are as many different ways to support WUMB as there are needs for your support. Planning a gift is more than just finding a need. There are a lot of factors to consider. If planned giving is a new thought, you might want to take a moment to consider some of the factors. Another reference tool for your use is our chart briefly describing some of the charitable means that are available to you - see How Can I...?

The following stories share some of the different ways people can become partners with us in providing quality programming. Take a moment to see how people - perhaps in circumstances similar to yours - have found the means to offer support and in turn enriched their lives and their hearts in ways they never imagined.

If you have already included WUMB in your estate plans, please let us know by calling us or filling out our estate intention form. We would enjoy the opportunity to thank you and would like to make sure your intentions are carried out properly. In addition, we would like to introduce you to the Preservation Society. If you have not written a will yet, regardless of your charitable intent, please consider this.

As there are different methods to utilize in planned giving, your personal circumstances will determine what is the best structure for you to support WUMB. We will be glad to answer questions, review your unique circumstances and offer suggestions confidentially. Please call or e-mail us (see contact page). Also, you may use our request for information form.

If you would like to do some preliminary calculations regarding planned giving, we have provided a planned giving calculator for your convenience.
