NPR receives very little state funding. Federal, state and local govt funding of NPR is only 5.8% of the total. Most of it is listener supported (32.1%) and businesses (21.1%). Universities kick in another 13.6% and foundations kick in 9.6%. The corporation for Public Broadcasting, which is federally funded, kicks in 10.1%. The other 7.6% is listed as "other".

The CPB's own pie chart is a little different but not by much. These may have been two different years as well but regardless, state funding of NPR is miniscule.
