Your gift powers this station–your station.

It’s important to remember that the majority of the funding it takes to deliver this necessary public service comes from community support. IPR News provides reliable information made freely available to all citizens. This is a critical role IPR plays in the community that we take seriously.

At the same time that it’s reassuring to have the sounds of Classical IPR as your daily companion, it’s also important to remember that local, community-centered classical music services like Classical IPR are rare and require investment. They require solid backing and protection from their community of listeners.

And you are a necessary part of ensuring IPR remains that reliable place for all. When everyone in the community does their part to support it, public radio thrives. Everything you count on from IPR counts on strong listener support—your support.

You truly are the "public" in Interlochen Public Radio.

Listener contributions cover more than two thirds of the station's annual budget, and your support is critical to helping IPR create and deliver the music, news, arts, and culture programming that you enjoy every day.
