Our news judgments are made independently – not based on or influenced by donors or any revenue source. We do not give supporters the rights to assign, review or edit content.

We will not accept donations from sources who present a conflict of interest with our work or compromise our independence.

BPR believes that identifying the names of station supporters increases trust in the media, therefore we regularly publish the names of donors who give more than $5,000 to our organization on an annual basis. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can indicate that with your donation. We are committed to keeping anonymous donations at less than 15 percent of total donations.
