Go donate to a favorite show. Thanks.

Yes! now during a fund drive you don't have to keep calling back because of busy signals, or... have to pull over to the side of the road, or... miss the show you are listening to in order to make your pledge. Now you can donate and choose your thank you gift online at your convenience.

Beginning with the February 2012 fund drive you can pledge online during fund drives. In between fund drives you also have access to support the station through ordering a variety of thank you gifts. Visit THE WBAI ONLINE DONATION SITE at www.give2wbai.org.

During fund drives you can text 27138 and a "keycode" (announced by the on-air host that you are listening to) and a live person will call YOU back to take your pledge charged to your debit or credit card.

Because our broadcasting studios' lease ends in December of 2012, we are researching new locations and look forward to having a street level presence - one that is more easily accessible to our members and situates WBAI better in the public's eye. A large public performance / meeting space is planned that will enable WBAI to present and broadcast live audience attended events. To enable the move, a capital campaign has begun on both large and small scales. Fundraising events will take place monthly to support the move. On March 1, 2012 WBAI launched a Text to Give Capital Campaign
