Listeners Pay It Forward w/ Underwriting for Nonprofits
Support WRIR 97.3 FM and Give Back to Richmond Nonprofits
WRIR 97.3 FM Richmond Independent Radio, like most public radio stations, relies on listener support to fund both our nationally syndicated and locally produced programs. Our biggest fundraising efforts happen during our on-air fund drives.
Make a Difference with Your Donation
When you donate $65/month or a one-time gift of $365, you’re supporting WRIR and helping a Richmond-area nonprofit you care about. As a thank-you for your generosity, WRIR will provide your selected nonprofit with a free schedule of on-air underwriting announcements. These announcements give valuable exposure to local organizations, especially those that might not have the budget for marketing. They’re a great way to amplify the mission of groups doing good work in our community.
