🔹 Note for NPR / Public Stations (All Markets)
Stations that require supplemental funding to operate may elect to partner with Celebrate Health as their fundraising and donor engagement manager under the Virtual Wellness Program Initiative (VWPI).
This model allows the station to access sponsor funding, health-sector advertising, and donor campaigns facilitated by Celebrate Health — ensuring public-service programming continues even when direct licensing is not feasible.
