In March 2024 - $2,396.00 has arrived thus far. Thank you all so very much for the sacrifices you have made so that Radio of Hope can continue on the air!
The cost of operation is always on the increase. Our average monthly operating budget is structured with several levels to achieve if possible.
Level One is about $5,000.00 which pays for things like Studio space rental, utilities, office supplies, free materials sent to listeners, postage, insurance, one salaried position and several music licensing fees.
Level Two currently covers another fee which pays the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) land rental fee where our FM transmitter is located. Due to administrative and contract changes in the Washington State land program (Covid-19 didn't help any either) we are now paying $2,000.00 per month for our excellent mountain-top location.
Level Three is roughly $9,000.00 which would also pay for things like an additional salary, special equipment maintenance and/or regular replacement. Our success in reaching this level of monthly donation is infrequent.
With about 720 hours in the average month why not consider making a little chunk-of-time your own project each month? For some folks one single dollar ($1) a month fits into a very limited budget. For others, it's $20.00 and in some cases it's $100.00, $200.00 or even $400.00. Whatever your situation may be please know that it is appreciated very much by all of us at Radio of Hope!
We cannot over-state how seriously we take our mandate to faithfully use each dollar donated to the cause of Christ! Close study is made before any purchase is made and our dedicated radio staff is applying their expertise for a fraction of the industry norm. In short, we're laying up treasure in Heaven.
