WRNI's Founders Society brings together dedicated supporters who make significant investments in the future of Rhode Island Public Radio.  

Think about how much WRNI means to you and your family. 

Think about the many local stories you hear every day on WRNI and the quality NPR programming we provide. 

Think about how many times you've learned something new, discovered a talented artist or writer, or heard a new perspective on a complicated issue - because you were listening to public radio.   

Now think about what life would be like without YOUR public radio station, WRNI.   How would the quality of your life, and the life of other listeners, change? 

The future of YOUR public radio station is in the hands of listeners, like you.  Your leadership and support will help to bring you the quality journalism and compelling storytelling you count on from WRNI.

We invite you to join this very special group of supporters, today.
