What Your Gift Supports

Your support helps in two important ways. Generally, to maintain the costs associated with more accessible communications and digital programs. This includes paying teaching artists to more fully engage the public, fostering an interest in and development of practices of listening and field recording. By maintaining this website as the critical point for connecting everybody in the global public, we serve artists, scientists and scholars who produce and communicate and engage us with the diverse and important role of sound with listening. Your support enables the World Listening Project to be more effective at providing an online forum on the uses of radio and web-based technologies, and to support public workshops and lectures, exhibitions, symposiums, and festivals across a variety of digital platforms and physically distant locations. 

Specifically, our ambitious fundraising goal of $21,000 will enable the World Listening Project to smoothly transition away from our past dependence on all-volunteer operations, toward a more balanced, sustainable, and equitable level of professional management by a paid part-time Executive Director dedicated to managing day-to-day operations, including fundraising and communications aligned with our mission and signature annual event, World Listening Day.
