Donor Advised Funds

A gift to WPKN through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) is a powerful way to support independent, community-powered radio while aligning with your long-term charitable goals.

What Is a Donor-Advised Fund?

A Donor-Advised Fund is a charitable giving account established at a sponsoring organization (such as Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, or Vanguard Charitable). You may be eligible for an immediate tax deduction when you contribute to your DAF, then recommend grants to nonprofit organizations like WPKN over time.

Why Support WPKN with a DAF? Your DAF gift helps sustain:

  • Independent, noncommercial radio free from corporate influence
  • Locally produced music, arts, and public affairs programming
  • Community voices that are often underrepresented in mainstream media
  • Educational and cultural programming serving Connecticut and beyond

DAF gifts provide WPKN with reliable, mission-critical funding that allows us to plan confidently.

How to Make a DAF Gift to WPKN

  • Log in to your Donor-Advised Fund account
  • Search for WPKN Radio, Inc.
  • Recommend a grant amount and frequency (one-time or recurring)
