WAMC/Northeast Public Radio successfully completed its February Fund Drive on February 7th, raising over $1,000,000 to support the station’s award-winning news and cultural programming. The first drive of the calendar year was remarkably quick due to the generosity of listeners giving many contributions to the Locked Box. The remaining contributions came during one hour of on-air fundraising Monday morning.

WAMC/Northeast Public Radio s February Fund Drive mobilized listeners to help provide a one-night stay for homeless individuals in an emergency shelter. The WAMC Locked Boxed officially opened Feb. 1 with a goal of reaching the $1 million mark by the end of the day. Beginning at 9 a.m., the station fundraised live on-air and reached the goal by 11 a.m. WAMC started and ended the entire Locked Box and Fund Drive in just one morning. Given COVID-19 limitations, WAMC was, once again, unable to have a traditional Fund Drive. Instead, the Locked Box and Fund Drive were combined into one with the help of limited WAMC staff to field calls and online donations.
