Aspen Public Radio has long depended on the kindness of its listeners and underwriters to provide the station with a significant portion of its operating expenses. At the same time, the station recognizes that it has the means to give back to the community by sharing its most valuable resource – air time – with other area non-profit organizations.

Aspen Public Radio donates $5,000 every month in on-air underwriting to an organization that might otherwise have a difficult time affording traditional methods of spreading the word about their missions and events. If you're interested in having your non-profit organization sponsored on Aspen Public Radio, please contact our director of development & corporate support, Debbie Welden.

July 2010 Sponsorship

Children's Health Foundation
The mission of Children's Health Foundation is to advance preventive and integrative health initiatives that benefit the mind, body, and spirit of children. The Foundation aims to create systemic change in schools and communities to ensure school safety, prevent childhood obesity, and reduce stress-related pathologies in children.

In recognition of the remarkable support the station has received from the community over the past 20+ years, Aspen Public Radio has established scholarships for students in the Aspen and Roaring Fork School Districts. Each spring, one high school senior from each district who plans on studying broadcast journalism and/or communications in college will be awarded a scholarship. For more information on the scholarships, please contact membership director Christy Garfield.
