WAMC REACHES ITS $1.25 MILLION GOAL

ALBANY, NY, UNITED STATES, February 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- WAMC/Northeast Public Radio has successfully achieved its goal of raising $1.25 million in its February 2025 Fund Drive. Just after noon Thursday, WAMC supporters came together to support free, independent journalism.

Between pre-drive Lockbox efforts and the live Fund Drive, which began Monday, Feb. 3, more than 7,000 pledges to WAMC were received. WAMC's award-winning news and community programming serves parts of seven states and is heard worldwide online. An outpouring of new members joined the more than 18,000 supporters of WAMC.

WAMC's Community Partnership segment expanded to include more local non-profits to help educate the audience on issues of hunger and child care: The Food Pantries For The Capital District, The Schuyler Center for Analysis and Advocacy, and Capital Roots.

"I'm amazed at this public radio community for standing together to uphold the mission of WAMC. Free access to unbiased and unbought news and programming is only available because of our members. Thank you, all," says President & CEO Sarah Gilbert.

WAMC Fund Drives occur three times a year: in February, June, and October. Each drive's goal is to support the general operations of WAMC/Northeast Public Radio. WAMC broadcasts the highest-quality programs from NPR, American Public Media, BBC World Service as well as a wide range of award-winning local programming.

If you're interested in finding out more about our Fund Drive, donating, or volunteering, please contact Amber Sickles at 1-800-323-9262 ext. 133.
