UPDATE 9/23: Matching all donations today with a donation to the Louisville Bail Fund. Stretch goal upped to $500! THANK YOU ALL <3

It's 2020, life is chaos -- so let's keep it simple.

CHIRP needs your help. Yes, we always need your help, but right now, we really, really need it.

As you know, we canceled the Spring Record Fair, and Pitchfork Music Festival was canceled (with whom we usually host another record fair). These two events account for an entire pledge drive's worth of revenue for the station.

On top of that, we just found out that the Derecho really mangled our broadcast antenna, and we're facing down thousands of dollars of repairs.

It's rough out here.

Any amount helps. We know things aren't easy for you either, and hey, you've gotta take care of yourself first. If you're employed and find yourself doing okay, please consider helping us stay on the air during these trying times. If it's just not possible for you right now, we'd appreciate assistance spreading the word.

Thanks, and we'll see you on the other side of all this.

We've been here for you throughout this challenging year - now, we need you to be here for us!

This wasn't how we anticipated spending our tenth anniversary year. Instead of parties and open studio events, we've spent the last six months, one DJ at a time in a carefully disinfected studio, keeping you connected while we all worked to stay safe. We've worked hard to amplify the voices of local artists who can't play live and local venues who were first to close, and to help you feel less alone at a time when it's easy to feel distant from your community.

But we've been hanging in there, and we hope you have too. We're still here every single day, live and local, commercial-free, with great music brought to you by true music fans. If you believe in this work, and if you're able, we hope you'll support the station with a gift today.

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 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).
