CHIRP Radio is a non-profit, commercial-free, independent radio station here in Chicago. We broadcast live for 18 hours per day, 365 days per year. The station is run by one full-time staff member and over 200 volunteers. I have been a volunteer with the station since August of 2008, a board member since 2010, and I have donated over 3000 hours of my time to help build this organization from the ground-up and watch it grow into the awesome community resource that it is today.

Your support now will help us keep cranking out the tunes live at 107.1 FM and at chirpradio.org.  Best of all, your gift makes sure local and independent voices are heard in the Chicago community.  All you have to do is click the green donate button at the top of the page and make a gift at any level that fits your budget. No gift is too big or too small. Please give now, and help me reach my $1071 goal to help support the station.

As always, I'll be making a super cool playlist for all my donors as a thank you for your support.  You'll be able to choose from a Spotify playlist or a traditional mix CD.  I'll send out a survey asking for your preference at the end of the year.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and generosity to this organization that means so much to me.

XOXO
Erin

PS. I put my money where my mouth is!  I've been a CHIRP donor since 2008 and a monthly sustaining member since 2012.

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).
