Fund Drive Information
WAMC holds three annual fund drives. Each fund drive must raise $1,000,000 and we suspend regular daytime programming until we reach that goal. The fund drives generally begin the first Monday of February, June, and October.
Volunteering:
We need lots of help from volunteers during fund drives. There are two main jobs for volunteers – taking pledges by phone and data entry. You may sign up to volunteer here.
Premiums:
You may choose to receive a premium item as a thank you for your pledge. Most premiums are available for a $100 minimum pledge. The tax deductible amount of your pledge is the amount of your donation less the fair market value of any items you choose to receive. If your employer matches donations, it will match the tax deductible amount.
Please allow 6-8 weeks to receive your premiums. We ship items as quickly as possible following the fund drive. If you have chosen tickets to an event, your tickets may be available for pickup at Will Call at the venue. We will contact you the week before the event to confirm all the details.
Many of the premiums we offer are donated by regional businesses. Please consider patronizing our most recent Fund Drive Donors.
If your business is interested in donating a premium to WAMC, please fill out this Application Form. We will contact you to discuss your offer.
Some of our premium items are available throughout the year.
