Make a Bequest to The Pulse
Leave a legacy with The Pulse
For many people, The Pulse has been more than just a radio station. It’s been a companion, a platform for local voices, a place where community is heard, celebrated, and connected.
If The Pulse has been part of your story – through music, conversation, culture, or connection – you can help make sure it’s here for the next generation.
Leaving a gift in your will is a powerful way to keep community radio strong, independent, and truly local. It’s a way of saying: I believed in this, and I want it to continue.
No matter the size, a bequest helps ensure that future listeners can hear their language, their stories, and their songs on air. It keeps local voices alive and creates space for new ones to be heard.
