WDET has weathered many changes in government priorities, but we’ve always had one constant — you.

To fight back against looming threats to federal funding, we’re looking to add 1,000 more members to reinforce our future. With your support, we can grow more resilient and fortified from external threats to independent journalism and public media that our communities rely on. Can we count on you?
