Fund Drive
THE FALL 2026 FUNDRAISING SEASON IS IN FULL SWING
WAMC Northeast Public Radio is 100% community supported. To bring you the news and programming you rely on every day, we need your help.
Here’s how fundraising works at WAMC. Our LockBox (pre-Drive mode here at WAMC) kicked off at the tail end of August, and our Fund Drive officially begins on Monday, September 28.
The pre-Drive LockBox helps ensure fewer on-air appeals, less interruption of your favorite programs, and a faster path to our $1.25 million Fall goal. The Fund Drive itself is a full-community endeavor, brought to you three times per year. We have shifted our model so you'll still hear some of your favorite programs, while also hearing our team on-air making the case for you to support this paywall-free, independent public resource that the Northeast counts on.
You know what's at stake: the news you trust, the conversations that make you think, the music and stories that keep you company.
Donate Now to help us lock in critical funding for WAMC!
Thank you for being part of this. We, quite literally, couldn't do it without you!
