At WUFT, our members are at the heart of everything we do. The WUFT Leadership Society is a special group of donors who choose to invest in the future of public media here in north central Florida.
By joining, you’re not only strengthening trusted news, inspiring stories, and cultural programming—you’re supporting the future of public media in a meaningful way, helping support University of Florida students who will become the next generation of journalists and media leaders through opportunities to provide quality journalism on-air.
Your annual support gives WUFT the resources to inform, educate, and inspire our community on air, online, and in person. Leadership Society members are recognized in our Community Report, in the WUFT lobby, and invited to exclusive events throughout the year.
If you’d like to learn more about the Leadership Society, reach out to members@wuft.org.
