Impact & Support

New York Public Radio Gala:

The New York Public Radio Gala was held on November 9, 2022 in-person at the Plaza Hotel. The evening honored Brooke Gladstone, host and Managing Editor of On the Media, and celebrated NYPR as a cornerstone of award-winning journalism, groundbreaking podcasts, and extraordinary classical music.

The Gala was hosted by writer and comedian Samantha Bee and featured a performance by the Kronos Quartet.

New York Public Radio Reports

We are pleased to share New York Public Radio’s Annual Report: 2021, which summarizes our growth throughout 2021 and highlights achievements made throughout the organization, as well as our Fall 2022 Impact Report, which covers NYPR’s work from July 1, 2022-November 24, 2022. As public media, we would not be able to serve our local area without the generosity of our supporters.

LEGACY GIVING

LIFT UP THE VOICE OF NEW YORK

When our signal first hit the AM airwaves in July 1924, it carried the visionary words of founder Grover Whalen: “It gives me great pleasure to launch this, the voice of New York.” A few things have changed since then. Our reach has grown to 26 million monthly listeners and counting. Our home on Varick Street now houses WNYC, WQXR, and The Greene Space, our pioneering live performance venue. And WNYC Studios, our innovative content laboratory, is one of the nation’s top podcast producers, lifting up the most urgent and inspiring stories from around the city and the world. Nearly a century after that first broadcast, New York Public Radio remains the voice of New York. We’ve built a legacy of rigorous journalism, illuminating conversation and extraordinary music—all for the public good. As a listener-supported public media company, this legacy is fueled by the generosity of dedicated supporters like you. And our future will be too. 

Please consider joining the Listeners Legacy Circle and help secure the continued vitality of this essential institution for generations to come.

To learn more, please visit: Legacy Giving WNYC or Legacy Giving WQXR, email Elizabeth Tedaldi at etedaldi@nypublicradio.org, or call the Office of Legacy Giving at (646) 829-4587.

LISTENERS LEGACY CIRCLE

The future of New York Public Radio depends on our community of listeners. Our Listeners Legacy Circle was formed to recognize a singular group of like-minded listeners who believe in the importance of strong, independent public media that is guided by the highest principles of broadcasting. By creating a legacy in support of this institution, members of the Listeners Legacy Circle have chosen to place their stamp on the future, declaring that our mission “to make the mind more curious, the heart more open, and the spirit more joyful through excellent audio programming that is deeply rooted in New York” has been especially meaningful during their lifetimes and deserving of their continued support. We are profoundly grateful to them for their generosity and listenership, as well as to those annual supporters who have chosen to use their retirement plans in support of our organization with gifts of $5,000 or more. For their generosity and listenership, we are profoundly grateful.
