No, that is NPRs overall funding. The point is that no, most of it doesn't come from corporations.

  37% of npr's revenues is direct corporate sponsorship. another 1/3 comes from member sations. of that third, ~20% is direct ad buys and ~40% is individual contributions, except "individuals" really means wealthy (corporately interested) donors[0]. so add it all up, and you're comfortably over 50%, without considering any of the other little influenced bits of revenue you could throw in. so yes, that's most.
