We built this radio station for you, and throughout these difficult times, we've made sure we're here for you. CHIRP volunteers have kept our station on the air live every day for the last 11 years - through pandemics, snowstorms, heat waves, election seasons, civil unrest, and CTA bus delays, just to name a few of those challenges! Now, we're asking you to show your love back to us wtih a donation to keep us strong - no amount is too small! 

My committment to CHIRP is why I've served on the Board of Directors since the organization's inception, and its why I have spent every Sunday afternoon for the last 11 years in the studio, bringing you great music from Chicago and beyond. Please show your support with a donation of any amount today!

CHIRP is your community radio station.

In these times, it's important to have things you can rely on in your life. Things that provide some consistency -- and hopefully, some joy! -- even when the rest of life is strange and too often, stressful.

Over the course of the past eighteen months, we hope that CHIRP has provided that source of happy reliability for you. We've been able to continue our work throughout the pandemic, always lifting up the voices of local artists and nonprofits, always commercial-free, and with live, passionate, curious DJs, because of your generous support.

If you believe in this work, and if you're able, we hope you'll support the station with a gift today.

If you would like to become a sustaining member by making a recurring donation (monthly or quarterly), or if you want to select a thank you gift, please visit CHIRP's main donation page to make your contribution (and don’t forget to enter the name of the CHIRP Volunteer or DJ in the “How did you hear about CHIRP” section so they can receive credit for your gift).
