Fall Fund Drive 2017.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!

Fall Fund Drive 2017 starts Monday October 16th

As is traditional with CHLY, we're coming up to our annual fall fund drive. We had hoped to move to one annual fund drive with our spring fund drive earlier this year, but we didn't quite get to our goal of $20,000. On a positive note, we did manage to increase our sustaining donations from $4,200 a year to $6,800 a year, with additional one time donations on top of that.

We also got our donors some pretty awesome incentive items, that will once again be available to sustaining donors, and one time donors at varying price points. We've received very positive feedback regarding our new totes, shirts, and hoodies, and look forward to improving our incentive program with every fund drive!

SO WHAT'S THE GOAL?

We're aiming once again to raise $20,000 for the year of 2017. Starting from where we left off with the Spring Fund Drive around $10,000, we only need to raise another $10,000+ to succeed in that goal. We aim to do this by raising another $416/month in sustaining donations, and $5000 in one time donations.

SO WHAT DOES MY MONTHLY DONATION DO?

Your donation pays for the day-to-day costs of keeping CHLY operating, improvements to the station and studio, as well as funding our on and off-air projects. Without your donation, CHLY would not be possible no matter how hard our volunteers and staff worked. 

WHAT WE WANT TO DO WITH THAT MONEY:

  • Buy remote broadcast equipment so we can live broadcast from the VIU Library Booth improving access to CHLY for students, as well as broadcast from festivals, live shows and other events.

  • Buy additional microphones for our on-air booth. Three ain't working for us.

  • Buy new Zoom handheld microphones for interviews on the street.

  • Hire additional staff to coordinate student and community volunteers, develop and improve programming and help make CHLY even better.

  • Bank money for a new long-term home for CHLY.

WHY MONTHLY DONATIONS?

Because they're far more reliable on a year to year basis, making it easier to plan our financial year and they're a heck of a lot easier for donors to commit to than a larger lump sum. We care about making it easier for you! That said, you can still elect to make a one-time donation using the form at the very bottom of this page.
