Dear friends and family,

It’s CHIRP Radio’s spring fundraiser, and I’m here to ask for your support! You know that the Chicago Independent Radio Project (CHIRP) is a volunteer-driven, listener-funded, commercial-free station, and we rely on friends and listeners to keep us on the air. Please consider donating $15, $20 (or more) to community radio.

I've been a DJ here since 2019, and it's my favorite time of the week. I get to share music I love and serve the Chicagoland-and-beyond community. Annnnd, we're commercial free! We rely on the generosity of friends, family, and listeners to do what we do!

My personal fundraising goal is $850. CHIRP relies on direct donations and (usually) special events revenue for the majority of our budget, and I'm trying to do my part.

And bonus: If you donate NOW, I’ll play the cool cover song of your choice (or I’ll pick one for you) on an upcoming show and give you a big shout-out on the air.

Thank you!

Kristi/K-Tel

CHIRP is radio as it's meant to be: live, local and independent.

We are true radio believers at CHIRP. We love the music that we share with you, and we are committed to our community -- playing local bands every single hour of the day, interviewing Chicago artists for our podcast series, showcasing local nonprofits doing important work, and generally making sure we are shining a light on our city's diverse, vibrant, creative scenes. And we're doing it all without any commercials!

Your generous support makes everything we do possible. We are a truly independent, listener-supported radio station, never beholden to corporate interests.

If you believe in this work, and if you're able, we please make a donation to CHIRP 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 CHIRP's main donation page 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).
