The joy of giving: Why WMNF needs your support this Giving Tuesday

Share

Giving Tuesday is a global day of generosity, taking place annually on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. In a world filled with Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday shopping sprees, Giving Tuesday shifts the focus toward giving back to the causes that matter most.

It’s a reminder to pause, reflect, and share our good fortune with others. For WMNF 88.5 FM, a community radio station that has been serving the greater Tampa Bay area for over 40 years, Giving Tuesday is an opportunity to invest in the future of the station and its mission to keep independent, community-driven content alive.

Why is Giving Tuesday So Important for WMNF?

WMNF 88.5 FM is more than just a radio station—it’s a cornerstone of the Tampa Bay community.

But to continue this work, WMNF depends on the support of its listeners, particularly on days like Giving Tuesday.
