Help us raise funds to support community radio in Chicago! 
CHIRP, where I have volunteered for 10 years, is turning 15 this year, and we'd like to help ensure that this station is here for 15 more years!
CHIRP has well over 250 volunteers but just one paid staff member. 
CHIRP supports local music like no one else; having played over 1,900 DIFFERENT LOCAL ARTISTS in 2024 alone!! 

Being the math geek that I am, I'm hoping some combination of 5-10 friends will give between $25-50 each to help me reach my personal goal of $250. This will help the station realize the overall goal of $48,000 this spring, critical funding in a time of unprecedented uncertainty for the arts and nonprofits. 

Thank you and feel free to share with your own networks.

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.
