Your gift goes further during drive.
When you give during our fund drive, you’re not only inspiring others to give—you’re helping IPR meet important matching challenges and making sure your gift has maximum impact!
Federal funding for public media was cut this past July. Your support is critical now because the road ahead is more challenging than ever: we are working to close a significant budget hole due to these cuts.
Listener support – your support – is crucial at this moment.
Your support powers and protects IPR’s essential service—the thoughtful news, regional stories, interesting and enlivening music, and the commitment to our local northern Michigan community.
Your gift sends a powerful message that high quality journalism and a vibrant arts scene are deeply valued in our community.
Thank you!
Sustain IPR by making your gift monthly.
Monthly gifts provide long-term and ongoing support that IPR can rely on. The funding stability recurring giving provides is extremely important for public radio right now and into the future.
This is a powerful way to support your local public radio station. You pick the amount that’s right for you. Each month, you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you have done your part— for yourself and your community.
Plus, an extra thank you! IPR Sustainers giving $8+ per month receive special access to NPR+, including exclusive bonus episodes and sponsor-free listening.
Help us reach 2,500 monthly donors by Dec. 31

We increased our goal for new sustainers by the end of 2025 to 2,500 following cuts to IPR’s federal funding. With 14% of our budget gone for this year and the foreseeable future, the essential support provided by IPR Sustainers has never been more critical.
If you are already an IPR Sustainer and would like to increase your gift use this form. Thank you for powering IPR!
