Support the Stories That Matter – Donate Today!
Delmarva Public Media is powered by you—and right now, your support is more important than ever. Proposed cuts to federal funding threaten nearly 20% of our annual budget. If these cuts go through, we’ll be forced to make difficult decisions, including potential reductions in the programming you rely on.
That’s why this Spring Membership Drive is so critical. Your donation helps fill the funding gap and ensures we can continue to provide the trusted news, civil conversations, and rich cultural programming you expect—without interruption.
Your gift also sustains local initiatives like award-winning journalism from Don Rush and Intergenerational Beats, our new program that pairs experienced reporters with aspiring student journalists to build the next generation of storytellers.
When you support Delmarva Public Media, you're not just giving to a radio station... You're investing in civil dialogue, lifelong learning, and a stronger, more connected community.

Crisp, fresh salt air flirts with the delicate sweetness of blooming sweet peas, the fragrant flower of the marshes. Hints of marine and dune grass drift into a light, earthy base of weathered driftwood and oyster shell. Cleansing, uplifting and serene.
