WFAE Member Appreciation Day

Thank you, members. Charlotte’s stories are possible because of you.

On Sept. 7, we celebrate the readers, listeners and supporters who keep WFAE strong. Your voice, your trust and your support sustain the journalism our city relies on.

WFAE exists to inform, connect and serve Charlotte, and members like you make that work possible. From daily reporting and neighborhood stories to investigations and community events, your membership powers independent reporting that holds power accountable and elevates the voices of our region.

Why your support matters

• A stronger community: We produce programming and events that bring people together to learn, debate and celebrate.
• Trustworthy journalism: Your support keeps WFAE independent, accountable and focused on public service, not clicks or corporate pressure.
