Gifts from Station Members

This enterprise is created and sustained by the individuals, families and businesses which support the station’s work through their annual station membership gifts.

Pledge Drive Business Support Circle

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of station members, HPR spends less time fundraising on the air than public radio stations elsewhere.

Program Sponsorship & Foundation Support

HPR is truly locally managed and locally funded, a critical function of our independence. Aside from the individuals who contribute 65% of HPR’s operating funds, the single outstanding group of HPR supporters are the program sponsors (underwriters) and foundations who support the programming and station operations not only with financial generosity but choose to affiliate their names with the public radio community. Together they make up 25% of HPR’s support, and we are very grateful to every one of them. read more
