This spring, BirdNote is asking our listeners for their support. In these five shows, get a glimpse behind the scenes into how BirdNote is made, and learn how your support allows us to bring joy to our listeners and spark appreciation for birds. BirdNote is an independent nonprofit that partners with local radio stations to bring a moment of wonder to your day — every day. That’s why for just one week, we’re asking you to support BirdNote with a donation at BirdNote.org. The episodes will run either the first or last week of May, during BirdNote's Spring Fundraiser.

As part of BirdNote's Spring Fundraising season, these five original BirdNote Daily fundraising episodes are available for your station to air in place of regular BirdNote Daily episodes during either the first (5/1-5/5) or last (5/22-5/26) week of May. They are the same length as typical BirdNote Daily episodes and all five episodes adhere to FCC guidelines for broadcasting fundraising content.

Background: In the survey we sent out to our partner stations back in Summer 2022, the responses from stations were overwhelmingly in favor of airing fundraising episodes rather than charging a fee for our content. We know how important listener support is to member stations, and this is our opportunity to let BirdNote Daily listeners know that we also rely on their support to operate. We appreciate your support and are happy to answer any questions you may have. Hide full description
