In July 2024 - $3,462.00 has arrived thus far. Thank you all so very much for the sacrifices you make so that Radio of Hope can continue on the air each day!
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 $5,500.00 per month which, on average, pays for things like Studio space rental, utilities, office supplies, free materials sent to listeners, postage, insurance, one salaried position, several over the air music licensing fees and a separate fee for streaming our signal on-line.
Level Two is about $6,200.00 per month which covers several additional regular expenses and what we pay the DNR (Department of Natural Resources) land rental fee where our FM transmitter is located. We now pay about $6,748.00 per year for our excellent mountain-top location.
Level Three is about $9,000.00 per month which would also pay for an additional salary, major equipment maintenance and/or regular replacement. Our success in reaching this level of monthly donation is infrequent and we are grateful for our listening family that has stepped up in times of emergency repairs when necessary!
With about 720 hours in the average month please 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 $16.50 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.
