Spring Match Campaign
May 4-8, 2026

$1000 MATCH OPPORTUNITY with YOUR $1 DONATION!

Fractured Atlas (RFA’s fiscal sponsor) is having its Spring Match campaign, when they give 20 of their fiscally sponsored projects an extra $1000. Every individual one-time donation of ANY amount that RFA receives from Monday, May 4, 12:01 AM ET through Friday, May 8, 11:59 PM ET is automatically entered into a pool to receive $1000.  The more individual donations RFA gets, the more eligible entries we will receive.  (A $1.00 donation and a $100.00 donation each count as 1 pool entry, so no amount is too small!)  Shortly after the match week, Fractured Atlas will randomly select 20 projects from the eligible pool to receive $1000.  You can support RFA and increase our odds of receiving the much-needed $1000 bonus by making your donation HERE Thank you.

SUPPORT RFA

Preliminary financial results for the first 6 months of 2025 show a 15% decrease in listener donations (our only source of revenue) and a 34% increase in expenses compared to the same period last year.  Please note that RFA’s expenses include zero salaries and wages, with the majority of expenses comprising royalties paid to artists/rights holders and the infrastructure (network, computers, etc.) required to deliver the music.  Please support RFA by donating at https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/radio-free-americana. With no corporate overlords, a little bit goes a long way.

Thanks, cat

HURRICANE HELENE RELIEF EFFORT

Please support Asheville, North Carolina-based MANNA FoodBank with your donation at https://mannafoodbank.org.  The fine folks of western Carolina really need our help.  (It’s no triviality that the region contributes mightily to the music we love.)  Thank you.
