Independent is a strong word with us at In The Loop Magazine. It’s what we are and what we support. Especially when it comes to supporting Chicago-based arts and entertainment. It’s that time of year and CHIRP’s fundraising drive for 2025, their 15th year, has begun. Here’s how you can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Help us mark CHIRP’s 15th anniversary — celebrating our past and planning for our future — by making your donation early and keeping the on-air drive short<\/a>!<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Make your 15th anniversary gift today!<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Over the past decade and a half, your generosity has made everything we do possible, from launching the station at chirpradio.org<\/a> to passing a bill at the Federal level that allowed us to get our broadcast license, to developing great events like The First Time<\/a> (March 19 at Martyrs’) and The CHIRP Music Film Festival (May 15-18 at the Music Box Theatre), to renovating our studios and expanding our workspace last year.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
This year, our big project is rebuilding our website and mobile app from the ground up, creating a sleek, improved, unified user experience with a single sign-on across platforms.

And of course there are all the day-to-day expenses of keeping the station running 24\/7\/365, and always thinking about how we can grow and improve the ways we serve our community.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Give today to keep CHIRP moving forward!<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
We have some great 15th anniversary thank you gifts available to show our appreciation, like this cap, which you can get for a $5 monthly (or one-time $60) donation, available only through March 20th.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Get the cap! Become a $5\/mo. sustainer!<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Check out all our thank you gifts here<\/a>.

Help us celebrate our anniversary and keep the on-air drive brief! Make your spring drive gift today<\/a><\/strong>.

With gratitude,
