Hi. Welcome to my fundraising page. It's for raising funds. Hey, look, the first three letters of 'funds' are 'fun,' which, coincidentally is what Chirp is. No really, my weekly DJ shift if the most reliably fun thing I do week in and week out. I even say it on the air regularly. But Chirp is an all-volunteer organization. And we depend upon the generous support of our listeners to keep the machine running. And in return you get great radio (no, it's really great, and not just my show) with no commercials. We're a non-commercial radio station. We literally mean that. So help us out and we'll continiue making great music. Okay, we're not actually making it, we're just playing it but you get what I mean. 

Help us celebrate fifteen years of CHIRP!

It's hard to believe that it's been a decade and a half since we launched the station! Some things have changed a lot, but what's stayed the same is our commitment to bringing you live, local, commercial-free music programming lovingly curated by our DJs every single day, plus dozens of events that showcase our city's diverse music, arts and cultural scenes.

In 2025 we're celebrating our history while looking to the future, including rebuilding our website and mobile app into a sleek integrated web app that we know you'll love.

We are a truly independent, listener-supported station. Your generosity has helped us thrive over the past fifteen years, and will keep us going for decades to come.
