Good fundraising spots make your listeners care about your message. Great fundraising spots turn them into givers.
Greater Public and the Public Radio Program Directors Association (PRPD) are teaming up to find the best fundraising spots in public radio in our inaugural fundraising spot contest. Send us an example or two of your best work. You could win one of five $200 gift cards and our grand prize winner will also receive registration to next year’s PMDMC or PRPD conference, your choice. We will share the best spots we receive with our colleagues across the country.
The deadline to submit fundraising spots closed on November 5, 2021.
The winners were announced as part of our webinar Secrets to the Best On-Air Fundraising Spots.
