WFUV is supported by a community of smart, curious, caring people. At the same time, at WFUV we're committed to supporting community organizations doing good work in the New York metropolitan area.

As a way to bring important issues into focus, we spotlight a particular issue every quarter. It might be health care, the homeless, or veterans affairs. You'll hear Cityscape programs and news features that address those issues. You'll hear public service announcements for local organizations dealing with them. You may even hear about events or forums that WFUV will be co-sponsoring. By focusing our time and resources on a theme, we hope we can help make a difference.

WFUV's volunteer Community Advisory Board is contributing their ideas and contacts to our public service campaigns. If you have any suggestions for themes or would like your community organization to be considered, please contact cab@wfuv.org.

We'd love your input!

Animal Welfare Note: This is specifically geared toward groups dedicated to the care and protection of animals. WFUV does not aim to define the issue of animal welfare or make a value judgment on any organization, but for the purposes of this campaign, it is not our intent to address arguments that animals should never be used or kept as property by humans. In addition, groups that in any way advocate or condone violence in their efforts will also automatically be excluded from potential involvement.
