To All Of Our Supporting Listeners And GDR Champions: THANK YOU!!!
What a wonderful fundraising season for WGDR. With your support, by July 15 WGDR had successfully raised $34,000 toward its seasonal goal of $40,000. The feedback is deeply heartening. Once again, Central Vermont is rallying to support courageous, activistic and creative community radio!
Below are just a few of the many notes of gratitude and encouragement we received from you these weeks:
“Can’t imagine life without it. From Gathering Peace to the Curse of the Golden Turnip to the Woodwarblers Jazz Grass show. I think I’ve become a WGDR junky! When I miss a show, I stream it later on.” – listener in Barre, VT
“Please, please, please keep the lights on!!!” – listener in Marshfield, VT
“We are great fans of your station and content, especially Curse Of The Golden Turnip; Weather With Bob; Thom Hartmann; Acoustic Harmony; Box Of Blues; Geezer Rock; Peter Bochan; and Wood Warblers Jazz Grass. Thanks to everyone for the work you do!” – listeners in Barnet, VT
“Please please please don’t turn GDR off! – Montpelier listener
“I never stop listening— you are one of my most treasured sources for everything I learn about the world.” – listener in Worcester, VT
Thank you all for the best radio station on the planet. You’re worth far more than the hundred dollars I can give at this time. I hope you find a way to keep it going.” – listener in Barnet, VT
“Here’s a small contribution toward your excellent programming. Thanks to you and all your volunteers. You mean a lot to this community. – listener in Calias, VT
“Can’t live without you guys. You dig for the truth. $400.” – listener
“Thanks to everyone. I listen to learn from Alan LePage every Sunday (online). Keep it coming!” – listener in Hull, MA
Keep up the great work -especially Gathering Peace with Joseph Gainza!!!” – listener in East Montpelier, VT
We hear you loud and clear, so with your help, we’re gonna do everything we can to keep WGDR’s bright light shining!!
While reaching forty thousand this season is a very real need for WGDR to maintain its one-of-a-kind radio programming, this current total is extremely promising, and we’re confident that with continued outreach, and all of the positive support brewing for the station this year, we’ll get to our goal before the end of summer.
If you haven’t yet had the chance to give to WGDR this season, there’s no time to waste, as two thirds of the station’s long-running funding sources (licensee and CPB funding) have either ended, or majorly diminished. It’s now up to you, our listeners, to become WGDR’s lifeline to sustainability. Give now securely by clicking on the donation button on each page of this site, or by sending your check to 123 Pitkin Rd. Plainfield, VT 05667.
From all of us here at WGDR, Goddard College Community Radio, we want to thank you for claiming WGDR as a necessary service for Washington and Lamoille Counties, and online around the world.

Kris Gruen
