Once again, CHIRP Radio 107.1 FM / chirpradio.org is asking for your support for live-DJ, all-music, volunteer-run, commercial-free community radio. CHIRP supports local, underground and under-represented bands, artists and events, including presenting concerts and an annual film festival! I volunteer, AND DJ (Thursdays 8-10pm Central!) and this is an important station for Chicago and its culture, especially in a time when independent, community and public media are under attack, and the times have only gotten more turbulent. Please consider donating to keep CHIRP running, and able to support you and the community, with LIVE, LOCAL, LISTENER-SUPPORTED RADIO.

PLUS, IF YOU DONATE, I'LL PLAY YOUR REQUEST AFTER THE CAMPAIGN. LEAVE YOUR REQUEST IN THE COMMENTS!

ABOUT 2025 Fall Fundraising Campaign

MAKE A FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY DONATION TO CHIRP!

It's hard to believe that it's been a decade and a half since we launched the station! Some things have changed a lot, but what's stayed the same is our commitment to bringing you live, local, commercial-free music programming lovingly curated by our DJs every single day, plus dozens of events that showcase our city's diverse music, arts and cultural scenes.

This year we're celebrating our history while looking to the future, including rebuilding our website and mobile app into a sleek integrated web app that we know you'll love.

We are a truly independent, listener-supported station. Your generosity has helped us thrive over the past fifteen years, and will keep us going for decades to come.

IF YOU BELIEVE CHIRP CONTRIBUTES MEANINGFULLY TO THE MUSICAL AND CULTURAL LIFE OF CHICAGO AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THE STATION STAYS STRONG, PLEASE MAKE A DONATION TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT TODAY. 

IMPORTANT: If you would like to become a sustaining member by making a recurring donation (monthly or quarterly), or if you want to select a thank you gift, please visit chirpradio.org/donatenow to make your contribution (and to give in support of the person making this post, be sure to type their full name in the "volunteer to credit" section so they can receive credit for your gift).

And if you're interested in joining CHIRP's major donor program, The Vinyl Circle, with a gift of $500 or above, please use this form.
