Advancing Philanthropy at TPR

When B.J. McClain, founding member of KPAC, asked listeners to consider giving “$1 a day,” our community responded. The launch of The McClain Circle in 1993 helped TPR develop a loyal member support group at significant giving levels, beginning at $365 annually. Over two decades later, a healthy roster of 1500+ McClain Circle members signifies a fitting legacy to B. J. and her fellow founders!

While the McClain Circle continues to grow, so have the needs of our burgeoning organization. Texas Public Radio is maturing into its name by now claiming seven radio stations in the TPR family. The media landscape is changing dramatically to include a myriad of new methods of content distribution. And, the need to develop local content is continuing to increase in order for the organization to remain relevant as it fulfills on its mission. In order to continue providing the funding base required to broaden our programming streams and services, we have developed new levels of giving.

As we look to the future, we now offer the Silver, Gold and Platinum Circles of engagement, along with the President’s Council. These levels of increased support are proving necessary to help us meet today’s financial challenges, but more importantly, they allow generous, public spirited individuals like you to partner with Texas Public Radio in making a significant contribution to our community.
