witf Premier Circle

Becoming a witf Premier Circle donor makes you part of a select group of leadership donors whose understanding of the value of WITF extends beyond the TV screen or airwaves. Through their annual leadership support of $1,000 or more, Premier Circle members share the value of connecting our region through education, culture and civic discourse and play a vital role in keeping the vision of quality programming and community service alive at WITF.

The support of Premier Circle donors enables witf to provide exceptional educational and cultural programs that touch, inspire and entertain one million people in our region each year. Together we make a difference!

The Legacy Circle

The Legacy Circle was created to recognize friends of witf who have provided special support through planned gifts like bequests, trusts and annuities. Their thoughtful contributions have strengthened witf's endowment and they will enable witf to educate, entertain and inform people across our region, for generations to come.

Leadership Events

Premier Circle Celebration

Each Fall, witf invites members of its Premier Circle to come to the Public Media Center for dinner and a special program. Past keynote speakers for this event have included Planet Money's, Adam Davidson, NPR Newscaster, Korva Coleman and witf's own Multimedia News Director, Tim Lambert.

Bus Trips

We plan two special day trips each year, exclusively for our Premier and Legacy Circle donors. Held in the Spring and in December, these excursions give our leadership donors a chance to get to know us and each other. Your ticket includes transportation, food and a unique cultural experience.

From time to time, we are proud to offer our Premier and Legacy Circle donors special opportunities to hear visiting speakers, take part in special gatherings or meet NPR and PBS personalities that may be in our area. We also give you advance notice of upcoming programs at witf and private events that are hosted in homes of your fellow donors. Become a Premier or Legacy Circle donor to begin receiving invitations for these events.

witf's Premier and Legacy Circle donors also receive The President's View newsletter, a quarterly update from President Kathleen Pavelko.
