                             Summary of key findings
•   Sustainers’ main reason for giving is communal, while nonsustainers’ main reason
    is personal:
     – Sustainers give because they want to help their community & feel more connected to it
     – Nonsustainers give so that they can keep listening to programming that’s personally important
       to them


•   When deciding how much to give, sustainers rely on subjective value while
    nonsustainers rely on objective practicality:
     – Sustainers decide how much to give by thinking about how much their station means to their
       community
     – Nonsustainers decide by thinking about what fits their budget


•   Sustainers are more involved in the public radio community and are more reliant
    on it than other listeners:
     – Sustainers have a better understanding of how much of their station’s funding comes from
       listener contributions
     – Sustainers spend more time listening not just to their own public radio station but also to
       other public radio stations
     – Sustainers engage in more cross-platform usage of public radio content
                                                                                                      2

                               Methods
• NPR provided each participating station with a survey
  invitation text and a survey template. They had the ability to:
   – Modify survey invitation text
   – Modify the survey template content
   – Add in custom questions in line with their needs.

• Each station had control over who they wanted to survey (or
  not), and how they wanted to deploy their survey. For
  example:
   – Some stations chose to survey a subset of their givers; others chose to
     survey all of their givers; and yet others chose to survey both givers
     and non-givers.
   – Some stations chose to field surveys via email invitation; some chose
     to do so through a website link; and some chose to do so through a
     newsletter link.

   Sustainers focus on community as the main reason to give.
           Other listeners focus on personal reasons.
                   What are the top 3 reasons why you give to you station?




N = 22,082 (total respondent count)                                                   7

Sustainers decide how much to give based on communal value.
  Nonsustainers decide based on what’s personally practical.
     Which of the following do you agree with as ways you decide how much to give?




                                                                                       8

When convincing others to give, sustainers focus on community
       gains. Other listeners focus on personal gains
    We asked respondents to write pitches they thought would convince other listeners
    to give. We coded whether their pitches were community- vs. individual-oriented.




                                                                                        9

     Sustainers have the most accurate understanding of how
               important listener contributions are
         We asked respondents to guess how much of their station’s funding comes
          from listeners. The chart below shows how many gave underestimates.

Sustaining givers skew younger than nonsustaining ones– largely
as a result of greater comfort & familiarity with online payments
