Help support our favorite independent community radio station! Marites and Matt are both longtime CHIRP volunteers! Matt has been DJing for CHIRP since 2010 and Marites started DJing on the air last summer; she has also lead the CHIRP Outreach Team since 2015. On our shows, we are excited to showcase local Chicago music, women and female-identified artists, BIPOC and LGBTQ+ musicians — identities that often get overlooked on mainstream radio. CHIRP works hard to bring you music from a variety of eras and genres, and that's only made possible by the individual donations from listeners like you! Keep the station strong by making a gift today and help us reach our fundraising goal. Thank you!

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.
