High Fidelity
Imagine no renewal notices, less money spent on fundraising, more money going towards programming, and a greener way of membership. This is High Fidelity.
 
High Fidelity is our new sustaining membership program. You choose an amount to give each month and we'll automatically bill your credit or debit card, and that's it! No renewal notices ever again. Each year we'll send you a statement for your taxes, along with a new MemberCard for the levels at $10/mo or higher. We'll also offer you a thank-you gift each year, as well as enter you into our drawings. If you want to change your monthly amount or stop it, just contact Membership at 312.948.4855.  
 
High Fidelity has the potential to lower the amount of on-air fundraising we do. Because we can spend less time and money focusing on renewing members, we can concentrate much more on getting more listeners to become members.

MatchFinderOnline Makes Matching Your Gifts Easy

Many savvy Chicago Public Radio members double or triple the value of their membership by taking advantage of their employers' matching gifts programs and we are grateful for their extra efforts.  But a lot of members may not even know if thier employers have such a program.  Whichever group you're in, we've just made it a lot easier for you to find out if you can match your gift to the station, and how to make it happen.  

MatchFinderOnline allows you to search for information on your employer's matching program and in many cases allows you to link directly to your employer's matching gift forms.
