Cowbell Ringing Fundrive Goals:
Raise $15,000 (or more!) to pay the everyday bills that keep the station rolling.
Meet our Matches! New this fundrive, we will be including special "match" days where a generous donor will match every dollar of donations that day up to a certain goal. If you give on those days, your gift will be doubled! More info soon and for which days!
Show Goals! Also new to this fundrive, our programmers will be setting their own show goals, to encourage listeners to give during their show, either a certain number of donors or a total. Help make their day (and ring that cowbell!) by giving during the shows you love.
5 new sustaining donors. Think of it like one of your many streaming services. What monthly value do we provide to your listening needs? $10? $15? $25?
50 streamer donors. We see you streamers! Thank you for listening from near and far online.
25 new donors. We love first-time donors! You build our capacity across our listening area.
25 returning donors. Did you forget to give to the station last year? Make this drive the one you return to giving with us. We miss you and appreciate your support.
New this year, we're adding matching donor support, where donations on certain days will be doubled! There are lots of fun goals to hit (and ring that cowbell) that you can be part of helping us reach. If you have yet to give to the station this year, this is a really fun way to do it. Learn more and how to give here.
We've also put together a helpful overview of the station, "a case for support," about what we need to put funding toward in the coming months and years. This is another part of our commitment to not just making the station truly sustainable, but to our transparency with the community about what running a station, without a college to lend administrative and funding support, is taking.
Make a gift today!
Give securely by either:
When you give or pledge a check online you can leave us a message about your favorite shows or why you love WGDR & WGDH. This is what you hear programmers read on the air as part of our gratitude for you all!
To give online by credit card, PayPal, venmo, or other digital wallet options. Click the box on the upper right donate button. Pick an amount or enter your own. Look for the tab at the top for "one-time" or "monthly." For digital gifts, when you complete the donation, you will be asked if you want to cover the credit card processing fee or us (optional!) and a tip (to GiveButter, the platform), the tip is optional and does NOT come to us. Click the drop-down box for that and choose "$0." to skip this tip!
To give by check, you can pledge on this online platform (so we know it is coming). Simply choose "check" and enter your information. Then, send that check made out to “CVCR” and mail it to WGDR/WGDH, 123 Pitkin Road Plainfield, VT 05667. Thank you!
After you donate, your donation will show up in the community donor scroll at the side of this page. Thank you so very much.
