Boise Community Radio needs your input and assistance. There are many ways to support community radio. By providing support, skills, and financial assistance you can join the growing list of individuals and organizations that are helping to build our area's only locally programmed radio station.

Our operating budget is as thin as it gets. Although we utilize our resources to the highest level of efficiency, organizing this effort takes money. To date, we have collected thousands of dollars from friends and neighbors: individuals, organizations, and businesses seeking to enhance the "quality of place" in the Treasure Valley.
These funds have been dedicated to the following activities:

• Technical engineering/Feasibility analysis
• IRS and incorporation fees
• Federal Communications Commission application fees
• Legal Consultation
• Printing Costs
• NFCB membership dues
• Broadcast Conference Fees/Travel

Other donated items and professional services have contributed significantly to our effort as well. Thanks to all!

• Donate via the PayPal service using the button below.

 

Contributions can be made in a variety of ways:

Become a Founder
BCR has initiated its "100 Founders Campaign". This is a unique, ONE-TIME opportunity. There will never be another chance to have your name attached to founding a radio station that will benefit residents of the Treasure Valley forever. Donation levels for the "100 Founders Campaign" are as follows:

• Individual Founder: $150
• Family Founder: $250
• Business Founder: $500/up
• Institutional Founder: $1000/up

Monthly Pocket Change
For the price of a latte a month, your donation can go a long way towards giving us a jolt. These funds would go towards offsetting costs of the "Three Ps": postage, printing, and phone bills. Any amount of change you come up with would be of great service and sincerely appreciated.
