A lot of listeners tell us they tune to WXXX for more than the news.
They tune to WXXX to learn about the world in which they live. They tune to WXXX because living a fulfilling life means thinking beyond their household… their neighborhood… their jobs.
Put another way… they tune to WXXX because they believe there is more to life than just “us.”
Perhaps these are some of the reasons you listen to WXXX. If so, we’re glad to help you connect with the world.
Please, consider a gift of a dollar or two a week to WXXX so we can continue to bring you radio that makes a difference in your life.
The number to call is (PHONE NUMBER).

News
As a listener of WXXX, you understand that public radio is very different from any other media.
The values to which we adhere focus on the qualities of mind, heart and craft... not ratings and profit margins.
And your financial commitment to us is what provides the means to adhere to the highest journalism and production standards and to push ourselves to do even better.
We dare to examine the issues, provide comprehensive analysis and examine topics no commercial broadcaster would for fear of offending its advertisers or owners.
That’s why a gift of $5 a month… or $10 a month for the year makes a difference. It keeps public radio values on the air.
Please… call your with gift now to (PHONE NUMBER) or give on-line at (WEBSITE).

People who listen to public radio tend to be independent thinkers. So it really says something when ______(number of members) WXXX listeners come to the same conclusion that this station is worth supporting with a financial contribution.
Perhaps one reason so many listeners give is because independent thinking requires independent sources of news and information.
That’s NPR News on WXXX. Funded by and accountable to the people who listen to it.
Help keep it on the air with a gift now at (PHONE NUMBER). Or give on-line at (WEBSITE).

Station Value
Music
A lot of listeners wonder why we open up these microphones and ask for donations.
The reason is simple: WXXX needs listener support to pay for the great musical programming you hear every day and night.
Now, I could spend an hour listing all the great musicians you hear on (program), (program), and all the other shows that bring you a world of music.
But you listen every day – you already know!
The very reason you tune to WXXX is that you can count on hearing this music on our airwaves.
So here's my point: Since you already know how great WXXX is, and you already know how important listener donations are – isn’t it time to show your support?
Call us now at (PHONE NUMBER). That's (PHONE NUMBER) to make your donation for the great public radio you count on. Thanks!

Gift Levels
We all make budgets. For some of us, when the money runs out each month, that’s the budget. For others, we carefully pinch each penny and examine each expense under a microscope.
No matter which of these camps you fall in, a pledge to WXXX can fit your budget. Every dollar makes a difference to WXXX, and no gift is too small or too large.
That’s the great thing about giving to WXXX, you get to decide how much WXXX is worth in your life. It doesn’t have to break the budget, just give what you can, whatever that is.
You might even be able to give more than you think if you use a credit card and break up a large pledge into smaller, monthly installments.
So look at your budget, choose a level that’s comfortable, then call (PHONE NUMBER) and make a pledge.
By watching your budget, you can help WXXX meet our budget and continue to serve you with the radio programs you want.

At WXXX, we raise a lot of money through on air-pledge drives. But that's not all of the money we raise from listeners.
In fact, we're trying to raise more money through the mail and on-line before we even come on the air to ask for your gift.That way we can plan the shortest, most efficient pledge drive possible.
If you received a letter asking for you gift, please send your check today. Or give on-line now at (WEB SITE). It'll make WXXX a better radio station.
Thanks.
