Funding
Delicious Radio!
CJSW is a non-profit organization that strives to provide diverse programming. Our schedule spans awarding winning news and spoken word, local musicians and artistic endeavors, multicultural programming and any style of music you can imagine.
The station receives roughly half of its funding from an undergraduate student levy at the University of Calgary. This levy pays for the day-to-day operation of the station, but to cover the capital expenditures, some of the surprise costs, or upgrading equipment, we need to have a little extra money hanging around. This is where the CJSW Funding Drive steps in...
The very first CJSW Funding Drive took place to help us buy the necessary equipment to become a full FM station, and ever since it has been our only source of funds for capital expenditures. It has allowed us to pay for the upgrading of our production facilities, including the purchase of new production board, as well as providing us with the monies to make the conversion to digital radio and increase our web presence. As we prepare for new advances in radio in the next few years, your generous donations provide the means by which we are able to continue our quest to be one of the finest campus/community radio stations around.
The Funding Drive takes place in the last week of October, where we suspend our regular programming and ask for listener support in the form of cash donations and subscriptions in exchange for another year of outstanding radio and great CJSW swag.
We need your support for the 2009 CJSW Funding Drive!
Because of your support last year we had another fantastic Drive! The grand total for pledges, including Live Drive events, was over $205,000. Thank you to everyone who pledged, volunteered, and patiently listened to our on-air antics.
