Thank you! Your support of PBS Michiana - WNIT means so much to us. It’s what keeps trusted PBS programs on the air, supports local storytelling, and connects kids and families in our community with learning resources they can count on.
This past year has brought some real challenges for us, including the loss of both state and federal funding. Thanks to people who care about this station, we’ve been able to navigate that in the short term. Now the focus is on keeping that footing in the year ahead.
That’s why this Day of Giving 2026 matters so much.
Over the past eight years, friends and viewers like you have helped raise more than $540,000 through Day of Giving efforts. Now we come together again for WNIT’s 9th Annual Day of Giving on May 21st with a huge opportunity in front of us.
A group of generous donors, including Don and Joan Lyons, the Berrien Community Foundation, Marijke Brown, Susan Ohmer and Donald Crafton, and others have committed $110,000 in matching funds. It’s the largest challenge gift we’ve ever had, and every dollar will be matched. Please consider making a gift to keep WNIT strong now and in the future.
This match came together in a number of ways, including one-time gifts, multi-year pledges, monthly giving, qualified charitable distributions, and legacy giving. If you’d like to talk through what approach makes the most sense for you, we’re always glad to help.
To make your gift, visit www.wnit.org/dayofgiving, contact Cindy McCraner at 574-675-9648 x330 or cmccraner@wnit.org or Laura Atkins at 574-675-9648 x311 or latkins@wnit.org. Gifts received by May 21, 2026 will be counted toward the challenge gift match. Please note “WNIT Day of Giving” on your check when sending your gift by mail.
