CJLO's 2nd Annual FUNdrive
Submitted by CJLO on Wed, 02/08/2012 - 12:49
On April 5th, CJLO 1690 AM will be kicking off our second annual FUNdrive and hosting events, both on and off the Concordia campuses, to raise money and celebrate our fifteenth anniversary! Funding Drives are the second main source of funding for campus/community radio stations like CJLO, so we turn to you, our devoted listeners, to help keep us functioning and on the air.
At its core, fundraising is about relationships. It's give and take, with both parties reaping the rewards of a healthy union. Building on last year's efforts, our Funding and Promotions Coordinator, Sarah Robsinson, sought to strengthen our existing relationships and create new partnerships that will last as long as we do.
This year, we are thrilled to offer our generous donors new pledge prizes, including a compilation of live sessions recorded in our studios. Our grand prizes include free travel vouchers on VIA Rail, free entrance to Blue Skies Turn Black shows, Beer for a Year from McAuslan Breweries, plus festival passes and a handful of other surprises. Trust us, you wanna get in on this draw!

Donate to CJLO Today & Help To Power Independent Campus Media!
Submitted by CJLO on Wed, 10/27/2010 - 13:13"So How Do I Donate to CJLO?"
Easy! Just click on the icon below which will lead you directly to CJLO's secure Paypal page. Just fill in all the required info and away you go. Don't have a Paypal account? No problem! All you need is a credit card and about two minutes and you're well on your way to becoming one of our favorite people!
"Why Donate to CJLO?"
CJLO offers something truely unique in the Montreal radio market. While there are many amazing radio stations in Montreal, it is no secret that the airwaves are dominated by commercial radio. CJLO, in contrast, is a not-for-profit organization that is powered financially by the students of Concordia University, its members, fundraising and donations by people who love alternative, local radio, just like you!
"But What About Advertising, You Ask?" While CJLO does sell advertising space, we take in a very small amount of advertising revenue, with prioity advertising space given to small businesses. CJLO prides itself in offering programming that focuses on local talent, under-represented music genres and a wide variety of great student-oriented shows. We do what we do because we love it, and not because we have a product to sell or a profit to make.
By helping to support CJLO, we can do more for you! Every bit of money we take in goes into making the station even better. With your support, CJLO can upgrade equipment, plan even bigger community and campus events, and bring the best programming to you each and every day!
"OK, You've Convinced Me, But How Much Should I Give?"
There is no donation too small. Your donation could be as little as the change in your pocket or what's fallen out of your pockets and under your car seat, every little bit helps!
"What's In It For Me?"
Other than knowing that you've made a difference, you want something you can hang onto, right? That's ok! If you're kind enough to offer a donation of $15 or more, we'll send you your very own CJLO T-Shirt! Just shoot us an email at feedback [at] cjlo [dot] com with your Pay Pal confirmation number, shirt size and mailing address and we'd be happy to send one over to you.
