Dear WAMU Supporter,

At WAMU, informing the public is our mission and reporting with excellence is our daily goal, especially during these unprecedented times. 

Because you are the public in our public mission, WAMU exists entirely to serve YOU – not advertisers, not the ratings and not for higher profit margins.  

WAMU serves you, but this trusted community resource depends on you too. That’s why your generous year-end support now is so important. 

Meeting the goal for year-end fundraising is essential! Please give generously today to support all the information, context and insights you’ll count on in 2021. 

Thank you so much,    Wynde Priddy WAMU Sustainer and Assistant Director of Membership

P.S. It’s crucial to make year-end fundraising a great success. When you donate now, you help make it happen and ensure the power of WAMU’s reporting — from inaugurations to vaccinations — is fully resourced for 2021. 

Helpful Tax Information: 

The 2020 CARES Act allows each tax filer to take advantage of a special $300 charitable deduction in 2020. Gifts must be made by December 31.
