UTAH CARES

Utah Nonprofits Association, KCPW and Utah Public Radio are partnering to produce short radio spots demonstrating the positive impacts of local nonprofit organizations. Utah Cares will feature a series of stories from diversified nonprofits, and the first round will run from December 20 – December 31, 2008.

The series will feature different spots four times per year in February, June, September and December. This exciting effort is designed to help increase the visibility of nonprofits across the state and to inspire people to give generously to area charitable organizations and community groups that are so essential to the health and well-being of our state.

Donating a car (or more than one) is an excellent way to get rid of old vehicles you don’t want. The biggest problem most people face when buying a new vehicle: what to do with the old one. There are 3 basic options. You can trade it in. This usually always means you get less than what it’s worth. You can sell it, which means dealing with a lot of inconvenience. Many people are just not in a position to to fix the vehicle themselves. There’s the Department of Motor Vehicles paperwork. In some states, you have to get a smog inspection. And then there’s all the time and effort in trying to sell it. However, there’s the third option: donating your vehicle. This means getting an itemized tax deduction for its full, true value and helping a favorite cause.

Utah Public Radio has partnered with CARS so every time you donate a car, you're also donating to UPR. Click on the link below, or the logo above to find out more information on how you can support UPR, and receive a year ends tax deduction.

UPR ON YOUR iPHONE

You can now take UPR with you wherever you go. American Public Media has created a new app called Public Radio Tuner which allows you to tune into over 150 public radio stations across the country, including UPR.

The Public Radio Tuner works on all iPhones and iPod Touches that have a live Internet connection, either via WiFi or 3G or EDGE. Some station streams with high bit rates will perform best when using a WiFi or 3G connection. Streams that are 64k or lower will play with any connection, including EDGE. UPR streams at 128k so you can receive optimal audio quality, but still be able to listen wherever you go.

What you'll need:

• iPhone or iPod Touch
• iTunes and an iTunes account
• Public Radio Tuner app

Download the app, plug in you iPhone or iPod Touch and iTunes will take care of the rest.
