Sustaining Membership

Sustaining Membership is an easy and efficient way for you to support the programs you rely on and cherish.

Sustaining Members make an ongoing, monthly contribution through secure, automatic monthly payments from your credit card, debit card, or bank account. Best part: you’ll no longer have to remember “renewal” dates.

You will be automatically entered into most sweepstakes during our on-air membership drives.

Recently our members have won an electric bike, Apple iPad and gift cards towards an airline!
