• Donate goods or services to the station

Underwriting at WORT

If you'd like to guarantee promotion of your business or event and financially support WORT Community Radio at the same time, you may want to consider our paid underwriting options. WORT has underwriting packages for all budgets that will meet your needs and target the specific communities you want to reach.

Download our Business Underwriting packet (PDF) for more information. Contact Maggie Weiser at (608) 256-2001 or busdev(at)wort-fm.org with questions or to begin an underwriting agreement. See a list of our current underwriters.

Sponsor a WORT event!

WORT puts on several events each year, including a Bowl-a-thon early each spring, the famous WORT Block Party each June, a stage at the Willy Street Fair in September, a birthday party every December, and several others throughout the year. We're always looking for businesses to help sponsor these events.

If you're interested in sponsoring one or more events over the course of the year, contact Maggie Weiser at (608) 256-2001 or event(at)wort-fm.org.

Donate goods or services to WORT!

Pledge drive food donations

Each year, WORT holds two pledge drives, running two weeks apiece. During these drives, we like to keep our hard-working volunteers well-fed. If your restaurant or caterer would like to donate food to the next WORT pledge drive, contact Maggie Weiser at (608) 256-2001 or event(at)wort-fm.org.

Business trade-out arrangements

Many of the goods and services WORT relies on for our operations are actually donated by businesses. In exchange for these in-kind donations, we promote these businesses through WORT channels. To find out what our current needs are and/or to offer goods or services, contact Maggie Weiser at (608) 256-2001 or busdev(at)wort-fm.org.
