Make a Major Gift
< < Back to cornerstoneWhat’s at the heart of WOUB is its members, and WOUB’S Cornerstone Society is made up of members who want to ensure the future of public media in southeast Ohio, western West Virginia, and eastern Kentucky.
Member contributions at every level are important, but those at our major giving levels are a special group who know that an investment in WOUB is an investment in themselves, their community, and the future of trustworthy public media because WOUB improves lives, imparts knowledge, stimulates conversations, inspires creativity and brings the arts and cultural experiences to our region. Cornerstone Society Members also contribute to build on the success of student training, supporting tomorrow’s students today.
Major annual giving provides WOUB with vital resources for work that impacts our region — on air, online and in the community.
We recognize members of the Cornerstone Society on the video monitor in the WOUB lobby, annually in our Community Report and through many opportunities throughout the year to attend important events and meet special guests.
