We are nearing our goal of completing the purchase of our FCC broadcast license, previously owned by Portland Public Schools. This campaign will enable All Classical 89.9 to operate as an independent, community-owned nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide public service through the broadcasting of quality classical music and cultural news and promotion of music and arts education.
The purchase price of the license is $5.5 million, and we are currently at $5,435,432 with only $64,568 to go ! Your donation, at any amount, will get us there.
Tthe Paul G. Allen Family Foundation of Seattle's challenge grant of $250,000 was met and we look forward to getting that check!.
All Classical 89.9 is financially sound, professionally staffed and has a listening audience in excess of 142,000 people weekly within the broadcast area. An additional 35,000 listeners stream online via this website.
