Hello! Perhaps you've heard of this radio station I help to run! Perhaps you like watching my dance videos, or listening to my show. Or perhaps you are new to all of this.
And perhaps you think that I work at CHIRP Radio; that it's my job. It is not. CHIRP is a volunteer organization and a labor of love for me and so many others. I believe very much in what this organization does, playing great music and introducing people to great new music that they aren't hearing other places. I give my own time and money to help this organization go.
(Speaking of introducing people to music they aren't hearing elsewhere, did you know that last year CHIRP Radio played over 1,800 different local Chicago artists? How long would it take you to even name 1,800 Chicago artists? This blows my mind.)
Will you help us out, with a donation? We've got some great thank you gifts on offer, including a cool t-shirt by my friend, lthe ocal illustrator, cartoonist, and cool-person David Alvarado.
And once again I am putting my money where my mouth is: I will match every donation dollar for dollar up to $500. LET'S DO THIS!
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!
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).
And if you're interested in joining CHIRP's major donor program, The Vinyl Circle, with a gift of $500 or above, please use this form.
