Pumpkin spice, autumn colors, cozy sweaters... we all know what that means - its time to the CHIRP Fall Pledge Drive! Chicago's volunteer-driven community radio station relies on donations from listerners and supporters like you to keep going 24/7/365! Not only do we operate Chicago's very best music and local culture focused radio station, we also put on all of your favorite cool events - the CHIRP Record Fair, Whistler Nights, Trivia Nights, and new this year, the first annual CHIRP Music Film Fest! If you believe, as I do, that strengthening and supporting local music, art, film and community is an important part of building a better City, please make a donation today in support of the work that I and the other 200+ CHIRP volunteers (and just 1 paid employee!) do every day. 

CHIRP is your live, local, independent radio station. 

Here at CHIRP, we're all about human-driven radio: no algorithms, robots, or AI -- just local DJs who are passionate about the music they play and always excited to share their latest discoveries. We're happy to take requests, give you chances to win concert tickets, and hear your feedback. CHIRP is a station that was made for music lovers like you!

Your generous support makes everything we do possible. We are a truly independent, listener-supported station, 100% commercial-free.

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