Contributions from listener and business supporters make up more than 90 percent of BPR’s funding. Every news report, every music performance, and every story on the air (and on this website!) is here because of listeners like you.
The best way to support BPR is by becoming a Sustaining Member of the station. With monthly drafts of $5 or more per month taken out of your bank account or credit card, it’s economical for you and provides a steady stream of revenue for the station.

For $15 or more per month (or $180+), receive a MemberCard and a BPR Day Sponsorship, an on air message to mark a personal celebration or to donate to your favorite area nonprofit.
