It could cater to those organizations that want in-depth discussion of local content at an affordable point of entry. A small overhead could support locally produced commercial-free music and news. It would solicit donations from individuals, but rely on organizational donations. Between the for-profits, and the high-overhead NPR outlets lay the community radio.

If this station won't be self-sufficient (i.e. not needing contributions) after it opens, it will be one more thing competing for our area's charity. As we hear on NPR every day during the pledge drive, they need money, as do churches, WVPT, the Boys and Girls Club, schools, Blue Ridge Area Food Bank, Our Community Place, etc. etc. Is there anything the station could do to find revenue sources other than donations after it opens, or does donating now just mean creating another non-profit that will need more dollars down the road?

I'm assuming that this radio station would have corporate / organizational sponsorship. These are the sources of day and program sponsorship on the order of +$2,000/yr. 7 to 10 donors that see an alignment between local programming and their mission. Who would be on that list? 1) Rockingham County 2) City of Harrisonburg 3) National Park Service 4) Virginia Poultry Growers Cooperative 5) Chesapeake Bay Foundation 6) Soil Conservation Service 7) Chamber of Commerce 8) Virginia Tourism Corporation All would sponsor non-profit programming specific to their interests.

Who would be on that list?
1) Rockingham County
2) City of Harrisonburg
3) National Park Service
4) Virginia Poultry Growers Cooperative
5) Chesapeake Bay Foundation
6) Soil Conservation Service
7) Chamber of Commerce
8) Virginia Tourism Corporation

All would sponsor non-profit programming specific to their interests.
