An important contribution to quality radio is made by foundations, corporations and individuals who provide funds to underwrite the presentation of a program or series of programs broadcast on Northeast Indiana Public Radio over WBOI and WBNI.

Underwriting singles you out
Underwriting on WBOI and WBNI places you, your product or service in a unique position by clearly separating your name from the clutter inherent in commercial advertising. Just as you, the underwriter, supports Northeast Indiana Public Radio, NIPR's loyal listeners will support you. 88% of NPR listeners say their opinion of a company is more positive when they discover the company supports public radio. When asked to name companies that support NPR, 51% of listeners recall at least one.

Underwriting allows you to target a specific audience
Northeast Indiana Public Radio offers you the chance to underwrite broadly across our programming, focus your support on a particular program, underwrite our bi-annual fund drive, or sponsor our unique special events.  We'll work with you to select the options that will most economically reach your segment of the market with the greatest potential.

Underwriting identifies your company as socially aware
An association with Northeast Indiana Public Radio over WBOI and WBNI, with its long-standing reputation for social responsibility, identifies your company as a civic and community-minded organization with an interest in the public that goes beyond simply selling a product or service.
