How to Become a Member
You can call 1-800-842-8991 and pledge to become a supporting member of
Northwest Public Radio (NWPR). You decide the amount you would like to
contribute. You can also mail a check to:
Northwest Public Radio
PO Box 642530
Pullman WA 99164-2530
Membership Problems
Let us know right away if we've made a mistake regarding your membership: a
misspelled name, wrong address, duplicate mailing or billing error. It helps
speed up the process if you send us the mailing label. If it's a billing error,
include a copy of your statement and an explanation of the problem. Or, call
and give your name, address and membership number as it appears on your label.
We'll take care of the problem as soon as we hear from you!
Our Mailing List
Northwest Public Radio does not sell or exchange its mailing list. We may,
however, purchase mailing lists from other sources in a continuing effort to
bring in new members. Sometimes duplications do slip through, so please forgive
us if this happens to you, and disregard any further duplication notices.
Thank You Gifts
The Northwest Public Radio membership office mails all thank you gifts. You must
pay your pledge in full before any gift will be mailed. Occasionally we will
run out of a particular item. In most cases we will re-order it, but this does
cause a delay. Sometimes, a re-order is not possible, so we will contact you to
see if a substitute gift can be arranged.
Gifts are just one of the ways we thank you for your support. Programs are what
your dollars really buy. It is our policy not to sell current gifts because
such sales decrease the value of the gifts to our members. For more
information, give us a call!
Tax Deductions
If you itemize on your federal tax returns, your membership pledge or other
donation to Northwest Public Radio is tax deductible to the full extent of the
tax code. You will receive a receipt from the Washington State University
foundation acknowledging your contribution. IRS regulations now require that we
send you a statement which shows the fair market value of any gifts we send
you. In many cases, this is far more than NWPR actually pays for the gift, but
the regulations require that we calculate the "fair market" value. We send this
information directly to you -- we are not required to report contributions to
the IRS.
Studio Tours
We are always pleased when members and local groups come by for a tour of the
studios. To book a tour, please call and we'll be glad to set it up.
Staff Visits and Speakers
If your group or classroom would like to learn more about any aspects of public
broadcasting, we would be pleased to put together a presentation for you. Take
a look at Who's Who at NWPR for some ideas, or just give us a call.
Copies of Programs
While we cannot provide copies of most network radio or television programs
(since we don't own the rights), you can often obtain transcripts and copies of
programs by contacting the specific program. You can contact NWPR at
nwpr@wsu.edu or phone us at 800-842-8991 and we will provide you with
the name of the organization which owns the rights to the program of interest.
