Partners In Excellence

WKNO-FM has a strong base of supporters, but there is an important group of donors whose gifts each year provide a bit of extra momentum as we approach the opportunities and challenges of keeping up the standard of quality expected from us. WKNO's Partners In Excellence are major investors in The WKNO-FM Stations. More important, they are our counselors and ambassadors. They enable WKNO-FM to expand its vision of excellence, to develop new programs, and to employ cutting-edge telecommunications technologies to find innovative ways of better serving the community. WKNO's Partners In Excellence Fund offers unique opportunities to donors of $500 and above. As a way of expressing our appreciation, partners receive the following annual recognition: Private tours of the WKNO studios and the possibility of seeing a program live Invitations to special events at WKNO Personal contact with WKNO-FM's Office of Development To become a Partners in Excellence Member, please contact: Charlene Honeycutt Promotions & Development Manager WKNO 7151 Cherry Farms Road Cordova, TN 38016 (901) 729-8741

Planned Giving

Through effective gift planning, you can balance personal financial goals with your interest in supporting WKNO, and realize significant tax benefits. We encourage you to contact us at (901) 458-2521.  We will be glad to answer questions, review your unique circumstances, and let you know about the full range of giving opportunities available at WKNO. Bequests Many people don't consider estate planning because they feel they don't have a large enough estate to protect. Bequests of all sizes are valuable to WKNO. Whether you wish to donate a portion of your estate, a fixed dollar amount, or a percentage of your assets, bequests are easy to make. If you already have an existing will, your attorney can help you add a new gift or change a provision by making a simple amendment (a codicil). We are happy to assist you and your advisor through the estate planning process by providing language and documents to ensure your giving objectives are met. If you would like to leave an unrestricted bequest to WKNO in your will, you may use the following wording: .I hereby give, devise, and bequeath (insert dollar amount, percentage of estate, or residuary) to WKNO, a non-profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of Tennessee, currently located at 900 Getwell, in the State of Tennessee, for its general purposes..  Please notify us if you include WKNO in your will as we would like to acknowledge your generosity and express our gratitude for your support of WKNO. Gifts of Stock Please contact us to discuss the various means to donate stock to WKNO. Please note that your name will not accompany an electronic transfer of shares, so it is very important that you notify us of your intent. We would enjoy the opportunity to thank you and would like to make sure your intentions are carried out properly. General Advice and Information Please consult with an attorney or financial advisor regarding your planned giving decisions. They will be able to provide tax and legal advice specific to your needs.                         WKNO-FM is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.                         Mid-South Public Communications Foundation                         900 Getwell Road, Memphis, TN 38111                         Federal Tax ID # 62-0525567

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteers are what make WKNO's value to the community unlimited! We understand that everyone has something unique to contribute, and we offer a variety of ways you can assist. Experience is not necessary to volunteer just enthusiasm and commitment. Volunteering at WKNO gives you the opportunity to meet on-air personalities, behind the scenes staffers and other WKNO supporters like yourself. You'll get to see our facilities including the on-air studio here at the WKNO-FM Stations. Volunteers come from all age groups. Many are high school and college students completing community service requirements for graduation, others are retired or active professionals.  All are WKNO listeners. If you would like to join the volunteer community, please email Sally Stover or call (901) 729-8719.
