Here in Vermont, we won't face the dire circumstance of any public or community station closing, but we are impacted. CPB funds far more than just NPR. It impacts music licensing fees for community stations like us and is half the budget of many rural, small stations across the country. Vermont Public will lose $4 million in funding over the next two years. They will pivot, but it will hurt how they do what they do for the entire state. Now is not a time to turn it down, it is a time to turn it up in your support for public and community radio stations you adore. Read more.

And, if you don’t see an item you want to bid on, please consider leaning into our “season of new sustainers!” We’re looking to get 25 supporters to become a new monthly donor by Labor Day. For just $5 a month, you could fund the WGDR/WGDH programming you love and rely on. It’s like bidding on the station AND winning it all at once!

So far in 2025, we’ve received the support of 30+ underwriters and sponsors to help fund station costs. These local organizations, businesses, and individuals are showing their community-mindedness by using community radio to get the word out about what they do and offer. Please support those who support us!
