Fund Drive

WAMC Fund Drives occur three times a year: in February, June, and October. Each drive’s goal is to support the general operations of WAMC/Northeast Public Radio. WAMC broadcasts the highest quality programs from NPR, American Public Media, BBC World Service as well as a wide range of award-winning local programming.

Most recently, WAMC Northeast Public Radio successfully achieved its goal of raising $1.25 million in its February Fund Drive. It was the first time the goal was raised in 13 years.

WAMC listeners chipped in the remaining funds needed to reach the goal of the station’s first drive of 2024. Well over 7,000 donations to the Locked Box and Fund Drive combined helped to ensure the stability of the station's high-quality news and programming. Hundreds of new and Sustaining Membership gifts were pledged, proving the capacity for growth and sustainability for WAMC’s future.

WAMC listeners also made an impact on local communities and families in need by partnering with The Food Pantries For The Capital District as well as the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society and Animal Protective Foundation pet food pantries.

WAMC’s next Fund Drive begins June 10, 2024. It is never too early to give to the Locked Box. Your donation today helps get us closer to our June goal!
