About Us
Campaign for a Sound Future
Chicago Public Radio engages public life and makes it personal. It fuels our region’s vitality with sound information and a symphony of ideas. The Chicago region and its public radio station are moving together into an exciting future.

In 2004, Chicago Public Radio launched its second capital campaign, the Campaign for a Sound Future. THE CAMPAIGN FOR A SOUND FUTURE will ensure that Chicago Public Radio has the resources needed to:
  • CREATE high-quality programming for two 24-hour services carrying news, public affairs, music, performance, entertainment, and more.
  • EXPAND our technological, creative, and reporting capacity with state-of-the-art production facilities and digital satellite equipment for direct global connections.
  • BUILD the facilities to house our increasingly vital activities and implement Chicago Public Radio’s strategic plan.
This Campaign provides a foundation of resources to ensure that Chicago Public Radio’s future is as bright as its brief but impressive history. As of Fall 2007, thanks to the support of over 90 generous, visionary friends, we have raised more than $10.5 million in philanthropic contributions toward this ambitious campaign.
