Kickstarter Campaign:

Buzzing with Purpose: Help Launch Killer Bee B103.5 FM – Bluffton’s Community Radio Station

️ Overview

We are building Killer Bee B103.5 FM WDDB-LP, a nonprofit low-power FM station located in Bluffton, Indiana, operated by On the Spectrum Advocate Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit serving families affected by autism. This radio station will be a community-powered voice for Bluffton promoting local music, nonprofits, businesses, and families — with a special focus on inclusion and education.

Our FCC license is approved. Now, we just need your help to raise $75,000 for equipment, engineering, music licensing, and studio construction. Every dollar gets us closer to bringing real Bluffton voices to the airwaves.

Powered by Purpose

Killer Bee B103.5 FM is proudly operated by On the Spectrum Advocate Inc., a local nonprofit whose mission is to help families affected by autism navigate daily life through advocacy, education, resources, and support. This connection gives the station a deeper purpose: beyond music and local programming, we’ll raise awareness, share stories, and provide an accessible platform that uplifts neurodiverse voices in our community.

With your contribution, you’re not just supporting a radio station — you’re empowering a nonprofit to do even more good across northeast Indiana.

Who We Are

We’re creators, advocates, and community-builders. Killer Bee B103.5 FM is an initiative of On the Spectrum Advocate Inc., a nonprofit serving Bluffton and surrounding areas with autism education, inclusion programs, and resource navigation for families and caregivers.

Through our work, we saw how important media access and community representation are — especially for people who don’t often get heard. With Killer Bee FM, we’re creating Bluffton’s first nonprofit community station — where music meets mission.

❤️ Why Your Support Matters

In rural and regional America, too many great voices go unheard. Corporate radio isn’t designed to serve small towns, and most community issues get overlooked without dedicated media spaces. That’s where Killer Bee B103.5 FM comes in:

It’s nonprofit and hyperlocal

We’ll elevate neurodiverse voices and disability advocacy

It provides Bluffton artists, businesses, and youth a platform to shine

The signal may be low-power, but the impact is high-voltage.
