CHIRP Radio writesThe 2021 Fall CHIRP Radio Fundraiser Is Here!
CHIRP Radio is your listener-supported radio station. We can't do what we do without the generous support of folks from all over who believe in our mission.
The CHIRP Radio 2021 Fall Fundraiser is a great opportunity to show your support of the station. Running a radio station isn't cheap. It's through our fundraisers we get a significant portion of the money needed to broadcast over the airwaves and online every day.
For the next seven days we seek to raise $30,000 in donations, money that will go directly to station operations, from rent to maintenance to equipment to cleaning supplies.
We have a number of thank-you gifts for various giving levels, including a spectacular t-shirt designed by JJ McLuckie exclusively for this drive. The shirt's design goes deep into Illinois' natural ecosystem, with images that represent several of the state's native plants and animals, including red dogwood, Virginia creeper, and northern Cardinal.
New sustaining members as well as one-time donations are always welcome. It has been and continues to be an honor to provide entertainment and information to our community in Chicago and beyond. Your financial assistance is critical in helping us continue to do this.
Please support our work today with a tax-deductible gift at chirpradio.org/donatenow.
