Become a Sustaining Member today to be there for VPR every month.

If VPR's 14,000 Sustaining Members had their own Vermont town, it would have the seventh largest population in the state!

What’s A Sustainer?

  • Instead of making an annual gift, Sustainers make a budget-friendly monthly contribution in any amount on a credit card or bank account - just like you’d pay for your Netflix or Spotify subscription.
  • Your donation will continue uninterrupted, but you can contact us anytime to make a change.

Why Sustainers Are Awesome

  • Sustainers provide more than HALF of VPR’s annual membership revenue, providing a steady source of income that VPR turns into the independent journalism, essential music, and inclusive, respectful conversations you rely on year round.
  • Sustainers also save VPR money because your membership is always current - no more renewal notices.

What’s In It For You?

  • The ease and convenience of automatic contributions with the flexibility of making changes anytime.
  • You’ll receive exclusive opportunities to attend events around the state, including ticket discounts and drawings.
  • You can request a thank you gift each year (check out the gifts we have available here).
  • You’ll automatically be entered in all drawings held during membership drives throughout the year, including drawings during the Sustainer Sprint for an iPad, $250 at Skirack and a pair of tickets to the Grand Point North music festival in Burlington. View the contest rules here.
  • A special Sustainer VPR euro sticker so you can identify yourself as a proud sustaining member.

Convinced? Great! You can start your Sustaining Membership in minutes here. Thank you very much for your support!
