LIVE WIRE NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT.
We're going to be real with you. After 20+ years of producing live events and national public radio programming, Live Wire faces a critical challenge—and an opportunity.
Like many arts organizations, we're navigating declining institutional support and ticket sales, in addition to defunding from public radio. We have lost $150,000 since January. We've cut every cost. Depleted our reserves. What we won't cut is our commitment to you and our mission.
Our response: the Fully Charged Campaign.
Rather than chase replacement funders, we're building a sustainable model powered directly by our community.
This shift represents more than financial survival. It's about changing who we answer to: the listeners who've supported Live Wire for two decades.
If you value independent arts journalism and community-centered media, please consider a monthly sustainer or one-time gift—every single contribution claims ownership. You're saying: I'm keeping Live Wire alive.
Live Wire is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donation to Live Wire is 100% tax deductible. Tax ID: 20-3813278.
