Join Our Giving Circles
WBEZ is grateful for the generous contributions from its many investors who give annually $1,000 or more. These special members provide the station with the resources necessary to fulfill our mission by serving as the cornerstone of the local and national public conversation and as a central pillar of our civic community while reasserting ourselves as the heart of innovation within public radio.
We offer exclusive benefits to thank these critical supporters including access to behind-the-scenes WBEZ events and some of Chicago’s most sought after cultural offerings. Questions? For more information, please contact the Development Team at 312-948-4824 or cbraccoforrest@chicagopublicmedia.org.
