***Thanks to all my generous donors, I’m into my second stretch goal! Can we get to $500? I think we can!***

FRIENDS! Guess what! It's fundraising time

Did you know that CHIRP is powered by over 200 volunteers? Did you also know that headphones for the studio cost $75, and those wear out quick because they are shared by nearly volunteer 100 DJs, live and local every single day? Did you further know that $10 covers half a day of streaming costs? Finally, did you know that I freaking love CHIRP?

All of it is true. CHIRP brings me joy every time I'm on the air, every time I get to tell someone about the station, every time someone I know (or don't know!) tells me they listened. If it brings you joy, too, please consider donating during our Spring Fund Drive. I've updated my goal to $300, but what I'm really hoping for is double digits in individual donors. $5, $50, it doesn't matter - give at whatever level feels comfortable. Just tell 'em Bri the Barefoot DJ sent ya!

Supporting CHIRP is a Sound Investment! 

CHIRP is a truly a listener-supported, volunteer-driven station and it is due to the generosity of fans and supporters like you that we keep bringing local artists, new music, and Chicago happenings to Chicago and beyond. Please make a gift supporting our spring fund drive so we can continue to bring you great music and events!

No commercials. No voice-tracking. No algorithms. Just great music brought to you by true music fans.

If you would like to become a sustaining member by making a recurring donation (monthly or quarterly), or select a thank you gift, please visit CHIRP's main donation page to make your contribution (and don’t forget to enter the name of the CHIRP Volunteer or DJ in the “How did you hear about CHIRP” section so they can receive credit for your gift).
