CURRENT SITUATION
Since our last fiscal year recently closed on June 30, 2024, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support and share a financial update. As in the past, revenue streams continue to be diversified with a hybrid model of funding from individual donors and the business community.
Consistent with prior reports, the data reveals that the majority of our operating funds are attributed to individual partners who support the ministry with monthly pledges, one-time gifts, or in many cases, a combination of both. Additional financial support has been received through stock gifts, corporate matching gifts, IRA contributions, donor-advised funds, donor-hosted events, and philanthropic grants. The remainder of STAR 93.3 revenue is generated from the Business Development Team in the form of advertising and sponsorship revenue.
APPROACH
The news is replete with negative stories, so much so, that it’s easy to lose perspective, to lose hope, to lose focus on the One who promised to never leave us or forsake us.
Our team is committed to the mission of encouraging listeners into a growing relationship with Jesus through media – whether it be through the radio, our free mobile app, streaming on a laptop/desktop, or when reading the uplifting comments found on our prayer wall or website’s blog. And, the best part is that this transformative message of hope is far reaching and available at any time, any place, 365 days per year, 24/7.
It’s a privilege to be a part of our listeners’ lives and humbling when they tell us how STAR has encouraged them in their walk with the Lord.
“When I'm feeling discouraged or I feel myself getting “too busy" to hang with God or pray to Jesus, STAR 93.3 is always there to bring me back. The encouragement and the uplifting DJ's are a blessing for so many. I love tuning in to hear my friends talking about faith and bringing me back!" ~ Angel
OUR RESPONSE
WAKW is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit that has been serving the Tri-State Area since 1961. While uncertainties in our world continue, we remain committed to sharing the transformative message of love, forgiveness, and hope found in a personal relationship with Jesus.
YOU have played a key role in helping us deliver this message to the local community and beyond. Thank YOU for being a vital part of this outreach – you make what we do possible.
Lastly, as you may know, summer months are often associated with a drop in financial support. In light of this seasonal pattern, we invite you to join us in spreading the good news of God's love this season. Together, let's share the message that has the power to transform lives. With your gift today, we can continue to make a difference in the world and bring hope to those in need. Thank you for your support!
Praying the Lord richly bless you and your family!
