WAMU Community Accounts

WAMU and DCist offer tailored sponsorship opportunities for local businesses, nonprofits, event organizers, and others who serve the community in unique ways but don’t have the budgets of large corporate sponsors. Our Community Accounts team believes that local businesses and organizations like yours put the “public” in public media, and our listeners are your biggest fans.
