relationship that’s at the heart of public radio: that the radio station is sustained, and amplified, by the very people it serves. As decades-long listeners and supporters of IPR, the Ingrahams — residents of nearby Suttons Bay, Michigan, for more than 40 years — found many ways to support the programs they loved during their lifetimes. Fans of both Classical IPR and IPR News, Bart and Gail volunteered in the IPR phone room during pledge drives and were regular donors to the station for decades. They were well versed in the many kinds of artistry they heard celebrated on IPR. Gail was a professional fiber artist, specializing in quilts; Bart was a talented classical vocalist (baritone/bass), a gifted sculptor, and a passionate fan of theatre. Because they wanted their support to continue in perpetuity, they made arrangements for a planned gift from their estate to be given to IPR’s endowment and to its Innovation Fund, which helps IPR expand its programming and allows for nimble, creative advancements for greater impact. Executive Director of IPR Peter Payette praises the Ingrahams for their thoughtfulness in having both an immediate and a long-term approach to supporting IPR.
Your local programming is just awesome:
