Update on WDFH's fight for
survival
Immediate challenge: help
us meet a $10,000 matching grant
Support Westchester Public Radio and keep your public radio
dollars in your home community.
We are
extremely excited to tell you that we have received a major matching
gift from WDFH listener Douglas Durst of the Durst
Organization. Mr. Durst is known for his leadership in
environment-friendly buildings, including the Bank of America Tower in
midtown Manhattan.
Mr. Durst has made a
pledge to donate $10,000 if we can raise $10,000 from other sources.
This
means that if you make a tax-deductible donation to WDFH, Mr. Durst
will match your donation dollar for dollar, doubling the value of
your gift.
Chuck and Gina Bell of
Ossining have just made a gift of $2500.
Thanks to
Chuck, Gina, and our other generous donors
who have recently made gifts, we are now nearly
halfway to that $10,000 goal.
Please support WDFH
by making your donation today.
Even with this gift, WDFH's
situation is still urgent, and we need your help to reach our overall
goal of $120,000 in annual support through individual donations,
local
business support, foundation grants, and other major donations.
That may sound like a lot of
money, but it's less than half the budget for community radio stations
nationwide and a small fraction of the budget of a typical mainstream
public radio station.
The lower Hudson valley is a
place of relative affluence, and we hope that listeners from our local
area — and our online listeners around the world — will become
supporters so that we can continue to increase our public radio
service.
If we can't reach that goal,
we will have no choice but to sell WDFH's irreplaceable broadcast
license. If that happens, what you will hear on 90.3 FM will
likely be public or religious radio from elsewhere in the country.
We provide a unique service
to our underserved suburbs. We bring
local musicians
to you. We talk about
local events and
issues. We give voice to underrepresented constituencies,
such as LGBTQ
youth. We do what the big stations in the city can't do.
We need a couple of philanthropists to
take an interest in saving WDFH, but we can reach our funding goal if
just 500 people
pledge $20 a month, or if a thousand pledge just $10 a month.
If you value what we
provide — and what we can grow into in the future — please read the
PRESS RELEASE about our current situation and the
LETTER from
Marc Sophos, WDFH's founder, to supporters and friends about this
situation.
