'Foneless' February: Donate now, hear less on-air fundraising in March!

"Foneless" February is back! Support the in-depth news, intelligent discussion and entertaining programs you depend on every day.

The past 12 months have demonstrated why WRVO is so important in your life. From the early days of the coronavirus through the final election results, you’ve depended on WRVO to bring you accurate, dependable and unbiased news. As you start a new year with a new administration, WRVO will be there for you, and we’re hoping you’ll be here for us, right now!

Make your donation for "Foneless February.

Foneless February is a chance for us to remind you how important your support is to WRVO, without interrupting our regular programming. The more money we can raise during Foneless February, the shorter the on-air drive will be next month!

The pandemic continues to reduce the ability of our corporate program sponsors to support WRVO at their usual levels. Fortunately, the generosity of our listeners have covered much of that shortfall. But it will take a successful Spring Fundraiser to avoid painful cuts brought on by this revenue crisis. Please give what you can to help pay for programs like "Morning Edition," "All Things Considered," "Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me" and everything else you hear on WRVO. Give during Foneless February and let us know you support more programming with less on-air fundraising by making your contribution for Foneless February right now! Thank you!

WRVO is now well into its second year without federal funding.
