As a community-supported media organization, Chicago Public Radio relies on the support of individuals, families, businesses and philanthropic organizations to help us remain a valuable source for news and information in a competitive marketplace. There are many ways to support Chicago Public Radio.


Membership is Chicago Public Radio’s largest and most reliable source of revenue. Over half of our annual operating budget comes from the generous support of more than 50,000 members. Consider becoming a member today, and find out more about the benefits our members enjoy. You can also support Chicago Public Radio by volunteering your time.


Advertising on WBEZ and chicagopublicradio.org is an effective way to reach many active, educated and affluent Chicago-area residents. Learn more about advertising on Chicago Public Radio.

Exciting changes are underway at Chicago Public Radio, and they require the support of our entire community. To enlist that support, we’ve undertaken a $15 million fundraising campaign. THE CAMPAIGN FOR A SOUND FUTURE will ensure that Chicago Public Radio has the resources we need to create, expand and build upon our commitment to the Chicago region. Sounds big! It is. So listen—we can’t do it without you. Learn more about the Campaign for a Sound Future.


The majority of Chicago Public Radio’s revenue is spent on programming – both acquired and original – that fulfills our public service broadcasting mission. Learn more about our 2009 programming investments.
