WETA's Leadership Circle is a committed group of donors whose philanthropic gifts enable WETA to produce and deliver the highest-quality television and radio programs for the Washington area and nationwide.
Leadership Circle donors are inspired by WETA's commitment to excellence. Whether it's an educational program, an unbiased news report, or a compelling story - whatever stirs your thoughts or ignites your ideas, WETA is where you can find it.
Your annual contribution of $1,000 or more enables WETA to expand its vision of excellence and develop new programs and services.
Many WETA members transition to Leadership Circle donors by increasing their philanthropic support over time. Others give consistently throughout the years, make generous commitments on a quarterly basis, or include WETA in their estate plans. Some support the station through our Annual Fund and/or the Friends of Classical Music.
Whenever you make a donation, you can be assured that it will be managed wisely and in a way that supports WETA's vital programs and community services.
"The landscape of television and radio and the values of our society have changed significantly since WETA's founding in 1961. What keeps me so passionate about public broadcasting is the integrity it has shown in light of all that change. Our commitment to quality, excellence, lifelong learning and families is as strong — if not stronger — as the day we were founded."
— Sharon Percy Rockefeller,
President & CEO
