Shovel-Ready Radio!!!
Donate local matching funds for our big grant - we'll receive $3 dollars for each dollar you give. How's that for leverage?
You're welcome to earmark funds for equipment purchases like our transmitter and antenna, but we've got to have operating funds for office rent, tower space, etc. as well before we can start broadcasting. Our capital goal is $250,000.To do this, head over to the 89.9 Fund page!
Radio Boise needs your input and assistance. There are many ways to support community radio in addition to making a donation to our capital campaign. By providing support, skills, and financial assistance you can join the growing list of individuals and organizations that are helping to build our area's only independent, locally programmed, noncommercial radio station.To date, we have collected thousands of dollars from friends and neighbors: individuals, organizations, and businesses seeking to enhance the "sense of place" in the Treasure Valley.
These funds have been dedicated to the following activities:Webcast Equipment and Artist/Streaming Royalty Fees Broadcast engineering Office Operations/Insurance Legal Consultation Other donated items and professional services have contributed significantly to our effort as well. Thanks to all!
