What you get back
Archive, one day early
Every set lands in your feed the night it airs, before it goes public.
Your name in the log
Printed in the broadcast log at the foot of every page, if you want it there.
A seat in the studio
Sit in on a live show, one Thursday a month, four people at a time.
How far August is paid for
371 h
The month is covered to the 20th. After that the Saturday guest slot is the first thing to go — it has happened twice.
Other ways to help
Pay for one night
Take a single date in the schedule and cover it end to end. We say so on air, once, without ceremony.
Buy the tape
Mixes on cassette, the 2024 yearbook and two shirts. All of it prints at cost plus air time.
Send gear
Working turntables, a spare mixer, cables, shelving. We collect in Amsterdam ourselves.
Bank transfer
Straight to the foundation account, nothing skimmed by a card processor.
Leave it in the will
Two people have. It paid for the transmitter we are still using.
Tell one person
The most effective thing on this page. Send them a set they would actually finish.
Before you ask
Where exactly does it go?
Into the five lines above, in that order. Nothing is spent on advertising and nobody here draws a salary from donations.
Can I stop whenever?
Yes, in one click from any receipt e-mail. No notice period, no phone call, no exit survey.
Do I get a receipt?
Immediately by e-mail, from Stichting AVAVA. Dutch donors can use it for tax relief; ask and we send the ANBI statement.
Is the stream going behind a paywall?
No. Everything you can hear today stays free, ads-free, for everyone — that is the point of paying for it this way.
Can my company sponsor a show?
We take money, not editorial. You can cover a night and be named once; you cannot choose what gets played on it.
What if you go over the goal?
It rolls into the guest budget and the archive. We publish the accounts every January.
