Endow-A-Day Program
Now you can "underwrite" a day of programming. Strengthen the
future of public broadcasting; create a special remembrance, celebrate an
occasion, or build a county endowment.
The Endow-A-Day program helps Penn State Public Broadcasting create a permanent endowment
to build a legacy of quality programming for central Pennsylvania. Donors who
endow a day of programming on Penn State Public Broadcasting are recognized through
15-second announcements made on-air during their specific broadcast day each
year for a decade. Endowments can be made to support WPSU-TV, WPSU-FM, the Educational
Services unit, and even specific genres of programming. The first of its kind,
this unique endowment program allows for families, businesses, and even counties
to support public broadcasting in an exceptional way.
In the last year, WPSU has received five endowments, three of which are being
recognized on air through the Endow-A-Day Campaign:
- David and Joyce Lee Local ProgrammingProduction Fund for WPSU-FM, recognized on radio on July 25.
- Robert K. and Jane W. Zimmerman Endowed Program Fund for WPSU-TV,recognized on Sept. 16.
- Huntingdon County Endowment for WPSU-TV, recognized on Sept. 20,the
date on which Huntingdon County was established in1787.
Endowments are funds, typically totaling $25,000 or more, that are invested
and provide perpetual support for Penn State Public Broadcasting. Half of the
income from the fund is available for spending each year. The other half
is returned to principle, so that the fund continues to grow over time.
Funds such as those provided in the Endow-A-Day program act as a source
of continuous funding.
