Ways to Support

Donations directly support our general operations and build our capacity so we can do more with and for our community. In short, money moves our mission to be a platform for sparking social change, creating human connections, and amplifying local voices and content. There are lots of ways to support us: one-time, monthly, stocks or IRAs, set up a bequest, or give by underwriting or sponsoring from an organization or business. No matter how you support us, we are forever grateful for your generosity.

Monthly Donation

Community radio is where you get your news, music, and local views. Please consider becoming a sustaining donor, like a subscription to other media platforms, with a recurring payment from your credit card online. You can also ask your bank to send us a check directly each month (saves us the fees) or send us your own check each month as detailed above. Join the dozens of other sustainers today at $10 or more.

Gift of Stock

Stock gifts can provide extra boosts as a gift. You receive a charitable income tax deduction for the full fair market value of the securities and could avoid capital gains taxes on appreciated stock. Please contact us directly and we can help you set this up.

IRA Charitable Rollover

Folks 70 years old or older can give up to $100,000 (and up to $200,000 for married couples) from your IRA directly without having to pay income taxes on the money. The gift can be used as your required minimum distribution.

Have your financial institution issue the check directly to Central Vermont Community Radio. You’ll need to make the gift by December 31 to qualify in the current tax year. Contact your IRA provider or visit their website to obtain a simple form to complete. If you have questions, contact us.
