Northwest Public Radio is a regional treasure with a mission to inform, enrich
and inspire our audience through programs and services that share ideas,
encourage thought, create community and increase appreciation of the
arts. A planned gift to Northwest Public Radio allows you to ensure
quality public radio programming in your community for generations to come
while meeting your philanthropic and financial objectives.
Northwest Public Radio is owned and operated by Washington State University and
accepts gifts through the 501(c)(3) of the Washington State University
Foundation. Therefore, the legal name your attorney needs to include in
your will is "Washington State University Foundation for the use of Northwest
Public Radio."
We encourage you to contact your attorney or financial advisor before
contacting us. Our staff will help answer questions and provide
additional information to facilitate the options listed below.
If you have already included Northwest Public Radio in your estate plans,

would enjoy the opportunity to thank you, but more importantly we would like to
make certain your intentions are understood and carried out properly. |

if funding is not an issue.
