Hello friends, family, music lovers and everyone else in between!

I've been a CHIRP listener since I moved to Chicago in 2020. This is my second year volunteering, and I have recenly started DJing on air as a substitute this year! It's really fun, and I'm thrilled to get a chance to share my personal love for music with the CHIRP enthusiasts. 

I am here once again to ask for your attention and, if you are able, a monetary donation. Twice a year we conduct a Fundraising Drive to raise money for CHIRP Radio, a community radio station in Chicago, IL. CHIRP is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization funded primarily through individual giving, special event revenues, and grant support, so we rely on these drives largely to help create our budget for the year. Because we are a non-profit, we are also commercial free! And we are run almost entirely by volunteers, so everyone involved is excited and willing to show up and help out for the love of music, radio, and community. We play a wide array of music, giving particular attention to local and new music. Our live DJ's curate their own playlists each week, but listeners are encouraged to join along and make requests!

As always, thank you for visiting my page and taking the time to hear about an organization I love and love being a part of. 

If you are able to donate this time around, you get an additional and slightly more emphatic, THANK YOU. 

I love you!

Anna

MAKE A FIFTEENTH ANNIVERSARY DONATION TO 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.

This year 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.

IF YOU BELIEVE CHIRP CONTRIBUTES MEANINGFULLY TO THE MUSICAL AND CULTURAL LIFE OF CHICAGO AND WANT TO MAKE SURE THE STATION STAYS STRONG, PLEASE MAKE A DONATION TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT TODAY.
