  It's efficient.
  WTMD will automatically deduct your monthly contribution from the account of your choice (checking, savings, credit or check card) until you tell us to stop, which means no more reminders from us!

   

  We will then be able to spend less of your contribution on postage, paper and administrative costs and more on WTMD's programming. You will receive all the benefits that come with being a donor like thank-you gifts and our Member Card plus you will automatically be included in all WTMD sweepstakes and drawings. When enough donors join you as a member of the Encore Club, we will be able to shorten on-air fund drives. That's how much of an impact Sustaining members can have on a station.

Encore Club FAQ           More

• Will I have to renew my gift every year?

  No. Your gift will renew automatically each year in July (your anniversary month) and continue your monthly donation without interruption.

   

  You can contact us when you know your card is about to expire, so we can update it and keep your payments continuing, uninterrupted – just call 410-704-8938 or email wtmdsustainers@towson.edu.

   

  Will I receive WTMD Membership Card?

  Yes. We’ll send you a card after receiving your first monthly gift. After that, you’ll receive a new card in your anniversary month (July) each year.

   

  If you need to replace your card or if you would like an extra one for a spouse/partner, please contact us and we’d be happy to get one out to you.

   

  What about thank you gifts?

  When you join the Encore Club, you are entitled to two gifts: our current New Music Sampler and our current WTMD T-shirt. Each year, on your anniversary, you may choose one of the two gifts.

   

  We have new CDs and t-shirts each year so you can keep adding to your collection! If you would like your entire contribution to support WTMD’s programming, simply select "No Gift Please."

   

  Can I make extra donations?

  Absolutely! WTMD always welcomes as much support as you are able to contribute, and we greatly value any additional gift you are inspired to make.

   

  What if I would like to change the amount of my monthly contribution?

  You are in complete control of your giving, and you are welcome to increase, decrease or stop your monthly donations at any time.

   

  Contact us at 410-704-8938 or email wtmdsustainers@towson.edu to make any changes to your plan.

   

  How can I update my credit card or account number or stop payment all together?

  No problem! But please call the Membership Department and speak to someone directly.

   

  Do not leave credit card numbers on voicemail or through email. If you notice any discrepancies on your statement, call us immediately. We’ll work with you to correct the problem.

   

  How long will it take for my contributions to begin?

  Sustainer installments are processed on the first business day of each month so your first contribution will start at the beginning of the month after we receive your sustainer information

   

  What do I use for tax purposes?

  The Towson University Foundation will send you a letter every January stating your total giving from the previous year that will serve as your tax receipt.
