The Power of Community: How Every Donation Secures the Future of WBWK-95.7 The Kraken

When you hear about a non-profit or community project needing to cover a consistent monthly cost like rent, it can sound like a daunting number. But for WBWK-95.7 The Kraken, the solution is not a single large donation, but rather a collective effort from a dedicated community of listeners.

The power of recurring donations lies in their predictability and stability. They build a reliable foundation that allows a community station to focus on its mission of providing local news, public affairs, and diverse music, rather than worrying about where the rent money will come from each month.

Let’s break down the math for a hypothetical scenario where the monthly rent is $1,400.

If just 70 people commit to a recurring monthly donation of $20, the total amount raised is $1,400. With this support, the rent is completely covered, providing a critical level of security for the entire operation.

But the beautiful thing about community support is that it’s not a one-size-fits-all model. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps us move closer to that goal. To reach that same $1,400 monthly target, it would take:

  • 140 people making a recurring monthly donation of $10.
  • 280 people making a recurring monthly donation of $5.
  • 700 people making a recurring monthly donation of $2.
  • 1,400 people making a recurring monthly donation of just $1.

This simple breakdown shows that every single contribution is a vital piece of the puzzle. Whether it’s a dollar or twenty, your commitment to a recurring donation demonstrates the incredible strength of a community working together. It’s not just about the money—it’s about shared ownership and the belief that together, we can build a sustainable and resilient future for WBWK-95.7 The Kraken.
