NPR is not "publicly funded programming" in any meaningful sense. The vast majority of their funding is listener donations.

'Listener-funded' seems like a good definition of 'public-funded'. Probably better than what is really meant, which is 'state funded'.

A lot of their funding is from foundations. The big ones are often mentioned. Foundations fund things that meet their goals.
