What is the Producer’s Club? For over a decade, members of the Producer’s Club have provided substantial support of WWNO and its programs. Contributors who make an annual gift of $1,000 or more – either as a one-time gift or as a monthly donation - are automatically included in this giving circle. You’ll join others who share your passion for independent journalism, music discovery, cultural exploration, and storytelling. As a Producer’s Club member, you’ll also enjoy special opportunities to meet national hosts, engage with local reporters, and get an insider’s access to your local public radio station.
What does my contribution support? WWNO 89.9 FM and its affiliates – KTLN 90.5, Classical 104.9 FM/HD2, and Jazz HD3 are 100% self-supported. In addition to nationally syndicated programs, WWNO also produces local broadcasts which spotlight the issues, events, and activities which are relevant to us all. Your tax-deductible gift as a Producer's Club member is instrumental in ensuring community-wide access to these important stories and enabling WWNO to prioritize the work of our newsroom, insightful cultural programming, great music, and online livestreaming and podcasts.
How do I join? You can send a check to WWNO – 2000 Lakeshore Drive; New Orleans, LA 70148, make a one-time or monthly donation with a credit card on our website; wwno.org/donate, recommend a distribution from a donor advised fund, make a stock donation, car donation, or a recommended distribution from an IRA Charitable Fund.
