Cowbell Ringing Fundrive Goals:

Raise $20,000 (or more!) to pay the everyday bills that keep the station rolling.
Meet our Matches! New this fundrive, we will be including special "match" days where a generous donor will match every dollar of donations that day up to a certain goal. If you give on those days, your gift will be doubled! More info soon and for which days!
Show Goals! New to this fundrive, our programmers will be setting their own show goals, to encourage listeners to give during their show, either a certain number of donors or a total. Help make their day (and ring that cowbell!) by giving during the shows you love.
10 increasing sustainers. Shout out to our amazing sustainers and calling on you to increase your monthly donation by $5.
20 new sustaining donors. Think of it like one of your many streaming services. What monthly value do we provide to your listening needs? $10? $15? $25?
50 streamer donors. We see you streamers! Thank you for listening from near and far online.
50 new donors. We love first-time donors! You build our capacity across our listening area.
50 returning donors. Did you forget to give to the station last year? Make this drive the one you return to giving with us. We miss you and appreciate your support.

Give securely by either:

1. When you give or pledge a check online you can leave us a message about your favorite shows or why you love WGDR & WGDH. This is what you hear programmers read on the air as part of our gratitude for you all!
2. To give online by credit card, PayPal, venmo, or other digital wallet options.
  - Click the box on the upper right donate button.
  - Pick an amount or enter your own.
  - Look for the tab at the top for "one-time" or "monthly."
