WMOT Membership FAQs
How can I change my membership, contact info, or the amount I’m donating?
You can update your address, email, personal information, donation amount, and how you donate by contacting WMOT Member Services at 615-898-2800 or wmot@mtsu.edu. If you leave a message, we will get back to you in 1 business day.
How can I purchase WMOT merchandise (t-shirts, hats, etc.)?
WMOT merchandise is usually only available as a gift to members to thank them for making all the WMOT music discovery and community service possible. Because we are a nonprofit, it is not fiscally responsible for us to sell merchandise. Current members can make an additional donation and receive additional t-shirts, hats and other gifts. If you are not a current member, please join us today and select your gift!
When will I receive the thank-you gift(s) I selected?
Thank-you gifts are mailed based on their availability and receipt of your payment. Expect your gift(s) to be mailed within 4-8 weeks of your full payment or first installment. Due to packaging and availability, some gifts are mailed separately, and may arrive as far apart as 10 days. If you do not receive all of your gifts by 8 weeks after we received your payment, please contact WMOT Member Services at 615-898-2800 or wmot@mtsu.edu.
Is my donation to WMOT tax-deductible? When will I receive my tax letter?
Yes, as part of the Middle Tennessee State University, WMOT is legally designated as a nonprofit, so donations are tax-deductible. Tax letters are emailed to all donors in January every year. If you need a copy of your tax letter mailed to you, please contact WMOT Member Services at 615-898-2800 or wmot@mtsu.edu. NOTE: Your tax-deductible amount may be impacted by total value of thank-you gifts and benefits you receive. Additionally, donations directed from Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are not eligible for tax deduction when the donation is dispersed, because they receive a tax deduction when the funds are put into the DAF.
I’m a Wired In Member and Didn’t Receive My Monthly Invitation, what do I do?
WMOT Wired In invitations go out 3-4 weeks before the show. If you didn’t receive your invitation to RSVP for two tickets contact WMOT Member Services at 615-898-2800 or wmot@mtsu.edu.
Your invitation might be going to your spam folder, to avoid this add wmot@wmot.org and wmot@mtsu.edu to your contacts. If you continue to have issues please contact our Member Services.
Can I transfer my Wired In tickets to a non-member?
Wired In is a members only, private show and tickets cannot be transferred.
Can I bring additional guests to a Wired In show?
Wired In Members receive two tickets to each Wired In show. You may bring additional guests by donating $20 per ticket through our Eventbrite platform. When you RSVP for your member tickets you’ll have the option to “Donate” for additional tickets.
Have a question about your membership? Contact our member services at 615-898-2800 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday or email us at wmot@mtsu.edu.
