Elizabeth Gomoll - Sustaining Member

“My name is Elizabeth Gomoll. I’ve been a member of Minnesota Public Radio for about 30 years. But now I’m a Sustaining Member.

“I always thought it was important to support the programming I listen to and appreciate every day, but now — as a Sustaining Member — I do it with an automatic deduction from my credit card. It’s easy!

“I get all the perks of membership without worrying about when it’s time to renew, and MPR saves money as a result. That’s a win-win deal.

“Join me! Make the commitment to support Minnesota Public Radio. Become a Sustaining Member.”

Sustaining Membership is an easy and efficient way for you to support the programs you rely on through secure, automatic monthly payments from your credit card, debit card or bank account.

Sustaining Members make an ongoing monthly contribution — which means we’ll continue to deduct money from your account until you let us know to stop or change it.

Sustaining Members enjoy these benefits:

  • Uninterrupted MPR Member status — your membership automatically renews each year.
  • The satisfaction of making your contribution go further to support the services you rely on.
  • The convenience of regular contributions with the flexibility of making changes at any time.
  • A subscription to our members-only email newsletter that’s packed with news about your favorite programs and hosts, early notice about MPR events, and special members-only offers.
  • A Sustainer Member Card entitling you to discounts at restaurants, retail shops, special events and arts and culture venues around the region.
  • Fewer mailings — no more renewal letters.
  • Postage, paper and administrative cost savings — putting more of your contribution into the news and music you value.
  • Opportunity to request a thank-you gift each year.
  • Exclusive access to new items that are offered during Member Drives online at membergear.

Sustaining Members can receive thank-you gifts every year

You can request a new thank-you gift each year — plus you’ll have access to additional items for a small contribution as they are made available at membergear.

Contribution methods can be changed

You can change your credit card or other payment method at any time by contacting Member Services.

Sustainers may contribute on a yearly basis

You can be a Sustainer with an annual contribution that is automatically charged to your account each year. Member Services can set this up for you.
