Fund Drive

WAMC REACHES ITS $1.25 MILLION GOAL

We successfully achieved our goal of raising $1.25 million in its June 2026 Fund Drive. Our community, staff and volunteers closed out a very successful spring campaign in just 7.5 days!

Our new fundraising model, which allows the station to reach its revenue goals while maintaining its regular programming schedule – keeping public media, independent journalism, and trusted information on air throughout the campaign.

Supporters responded with over 6.1K pledges, keeping the station listener- and community-supported. Your support maintains award-winning news and community programming that reaches parts of seven states and into Canada, while digital content serve audiences across the world.

Together, We Build Community

Our Fund Drives occur three times a year: in February, June, and October. The station’s success would not be possible without the generous support of our underwriters, sponsors, volunteers and members. It takes the entire community, and WAMC is proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with its community partners.

The goal of every fund drive is to support the general operations of our station. We broadcast the highest-quality programs from NPR, American Public Media, PRX, and the BBC World Service, as well as a wide range of award-winning unique regional programming.

A Note from Our President & CEO

“At a time when public media is at risk, we are grateful for our community and listeners for keeping WAMC strong – investing in not only securing its place in the Northeast, but also continuing to innovate to keep WAMC accessible to a broad community long into the future,” said Sarah Gilbert, WAMC’s President & CEO. “We continue to march on together in support of free speech and accessible and transparent journalism.”
