Aaand there goes the last attempt at good noncorp news in the US.

No, NPR will survive. Losing the grants suck. But the vast majority of its revenue isn't from grants.
I'll be upping my donation.

Last I heard, federal grants were like 2% of their annual budget.
Apparently it's even less now:
On average, less than 1% of NPR's annual operating budget comes in the form of grants from CPB and federal agencies and departments.
So uh... I guess they already are surviving on their own?

It’s the little stations in west bumfuck Idaho and West Virginia that will have trouble staying open. The big content creators like WNYC and GBH will be fine and can lean on corporate donors.

It's incredibly high quality journalism. I'm so proud of my fellow countrymen for supporting it directly. I listen to it daily - multiple times throughout the day. I've donated once or twice, but I need to reduce my debt before I'm comfortable signing up for a monthly commitment.

I also only one time donate, as I can. No shame in it, I think it's appreciated just the same

According to NPRs own report....it's 13% of the budget. So not critical, but still hurts a bit. I'll just up my yearly donation to help
