Joan Machlis is a loyal listener and supporter of KPLU. She decided to include KPLU as a beneficiary in her will:
"To me, public radio is a national treasure. KPLU is my station. I find mediocrity all around me in news reporting, advertising and entertainment. When I turn on KPLU I find excellence: interesting, provocative stories, outstanding staff, and a great balance of entertainment."
"I want my legacy to include sustaining a pillar of democratic, non-commercial news and investigative reporting. KPLU's intelligence is not the only reason why I love them. They provide their content with good heart, dedication, humor and curiosity about the entire world."
Thank you for your support as a KPLU member.

KPLU offers businesses and organizations the opportunity to support the quality programming public radio offers and, at the same time, inform listeners about their products or services.
On public radio, this is known as underwriting or sponsorship. When a business or organization becomes sponsor, they make a donation in support of certain programming. In return, KPLU airs the sponsorship announcements letting our listeners know who the contributor is. The announcements are 20 seconds in length.
Sponsorship also helps your company or organization build a positive image in the community by partnering you with a distinguished, highly respected information medium.
