CHSR Fundrive 2025

Donation protected
For over 64 years, CHSR 97.9FM has been the scrappy, independent voice of the community—playing the music you won’t hear anywhere else, giving local artists a platform, and letting volunteer hosts live out their radio dreams (some more awkwardly than others, but we love them all). We are Fredericton’s only campus-community radio station, and we’re proud to be 100% non-profit and powered by passion.

But keeping the station running isn’t magic—we’ve been MacGyver-ing our way through some well-loved equipment for a while now. But even duct tape and determination can only go so far.

Right now, we need your help to make some critical upgrades to keep CHSR thriving:
  • Essential Equipment Upgrades – Some of our equipment is so old it remembers Y2K. We need to replace it before it replaces us.
  • Website Upgrade & Unlimited Podcasts – We want to upgrade our website and move to our own server space so we’re no longer limited in how many shows and episodes we can podcast.
  • More Voices, More Stories, More Music – Your support means we can continue to train new hosts, support local artists, and keep community radio strong.

Community radio is like a good mixtape—carefully curated, full of surprises, and sometimes a little rough around the edges. But it’s also connection, creativity, and culture. Every dollar you donate helps us stay on air, online, and in the hearts of our listeners.
