Building a broadcast operation is a pricy thing. After eight+ years of work, the CHIRP broadcast launch is within sight. But first, I need your help in hitting our $20,000 fall fundraising goal. Our broadcast will add $15,000 per year of new expenses, and the build alone is costing us almost $90K. Right now, I'm just trying to raise a modest $500.

And when we say "listener-supported radio," we really mean it. CHIRP is 100% independent, airs no commercials, and doesn't get any government support. Fundraisers like this, combined with events like our Record Fairs, make up almost 90% of the budget (the rest is foundation support, merchandise sales, car donations, etc.).

So please show your support for CHIRP at this momentuous time with a gift today. No amount is too small, and every dollar puts us closer to our goal -- and our broadcast!

Thank you so much. We couldn't do it without you -- and we wouldn't want to.

CHIRP is a listener-supported radio station -- your gifts make everything we do possible!  Please make a special gift supporting our fall fundraising campaign today so we can continue to bring you great music and events -- and you'll help us launch our broadcast at 107.1FM.
