Where it goes
Where your money goes.
The transmitter
Power, tower rent, and the repairs that happen at the worst possible time. About half of every dollar.
The studio
Microphones, cables, a mixing board older than most of the DJs, and one heroic coffee machine.
The music
Licenses so we can play what we play, and a small budget for the records bands send us in the mail.
Never salaries
Nobody is paid. If we ever raise more than we need, the rest goes to a local band's studio time.
Before you give
The questions people ask first.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Dash Radio is a registered nonprofit, so gifts may be deductible in the United States. You will get a receipt by email.
Can I give once instead of monthly?
Yes. Pick any level and choose a one-time gift at checkout. Monthly gifts help us plan, but every dollar counts.
What do I get for giving?
A warm feeling and a station that stays on the air. The extras at each level are small thank-yous, not the reason.
How do I stop giving?
Reply to any receipt and we will stop it the same day, no questions asked.
Underwriting
Run a business?
Underwriters get a thank-you on the air. No ads, just a name read kindly.
