Hey there! If you're on this page, you probably know that I'm a DJ and a *founding member* of CHIRP Radio, which is hands down one of my favorite things in the world! CHIRP is a listener-supported station run mostly by volunteers, and it's one of the raddest things happening here in Chicago. I’m so grateful to be a part of it!

Today, I’m asking you to help me hit my $1,000 goal by donating whatever you can. Maybe you love music and happen to be rich—awesome, please give a lot! But if you can only spare a little, that's amazing too. Every bit helps keep this station strong and human. The rise of AI in music is, frankly, dumb, and we need to support real people bringing you real art.

Thanks to donations last spring, we upgraded our studios and doubled our workspace for 250+ volunteers. And we’ve got more big plans for 2025: rebuilding our website and app from the ground up! Your generosity will help make it happen. If you become a CHIRP sustainer, you’ll be invited to a special donor event and open house next month!

Let’s keep this magic alive—please donate today!

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 have the capacity, 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 chirpradio.org/donatenow 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).
