WGCU’s Leadership Circle is a committed group of donors whose philanthropic gifts enable WGCU to produce and deliver the highest-quality television, radio and digital programs for Southwest Florida and nationwide.
Why Join WGCU’s Leadership Circle?
As a Leadership Circle member, your annual investment in WGCU of $2500 or more helps strengthen the impact of our work in the community; ensures that there is always a space where true learning takes place; safeguards the notion that in-depth information and fresh ideas will be exchanged and allows everyone to explore the world around them.
Many WGCU 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 WGCU in their estate plans (hyperlink to Planned Giving page). Some support the station through our Annual Fund and/or the Funding Democracy Campaign (Hyperlink to Funding Democracy page). By joining this dedicated group, you play an important role in enabling our station to deliver the highest-quality programming throughout the region.
