Re: Radio station WFMU

Check them out at wfmu.org.

I love that station! I'm pretty poor but I sent them $50 this year. Last year it
was $150.

They are shooting for 1.2 million dollars this year. They also have a target of
10,000 contributors, so I guess the expected average donation is about $120. I
know last year they did have some donations in the area of $5000 - Michael
(Fahrenheit 911) Moore was one of them.

Anyhow, I view them as a worthy cause.

<<The bulk of the work is done by volunteers, with only 3 paid employees on
staff.>>

My impression is that their paid staff was bigger than that. But I don't think
any of them are remotely getting wealthy from their jobs.
