Ways to Give
Our supporters make the station. You not only help us keep your favorite programs on the air at WILL - we can also add new programs to the roster and create new programming spotlighting where we live, work, and play.
Basic membership
Membership begins with a contribution of $40 or more. Learn more about giving to WILL and how to receive additional benefits, like our Membercard and Patterns membership magazine.
Sustained Giving
Sustainers give an automatic, recurring gift, (usually monthly) continuing until the donor wishes to make a change. Sustainers provide WILL with steady, reliable income, and for most of our members, it’s the easiest way to give.
Leadership Giving
Vision Circle members contribute $1,000 or more each year to support WILL’s programs on TV, radio, online, and in the communities we serve. Discover more about the Vision Circle and its benefits.

Wills and Estate Planning
Planned giving helps ensure that Illinois Public Media will continue connecting listeners and viewers with quality information and entertainment. If you’re interested, or are an attorney/financial planner needing more information on behalf of a client, get the full info.
Stock
When you give stock, it gives back in tax benefits. When you donate appreciated stock you’ve held for more than a year, you can save tax two ways. First, you avoid capital-gains tax on the increase in value of your stock. Second, you receive a deduction for the full fair market value of the stock on the date you make the gift. Subtracting the tax savings from what you originally paid can result in a gift that costs just pennies on the dollar. For more information about giving stock to WILL, call Danda Beard at 217-333-9393.
