Dear all,
Here is an quick, ad hoc summary of how the spring drives have been
going. Overall, with the exception of WPFW, not as bad as winter. All
amounts are pledges, not actual cash.
KPFA - will bring in about $670,000 or so, vs. a budget goal of
$680,000. Drive was 17.5 days
KPFK - drive is in June
KPFT - About $270,000 pledged vs budget goal of $300,000 - 10 percent
short. However, an unbudgeted telemarketing campaign at the same time
brought in about $28,000. So the total pledged is right on target. Drive
was 19 days.
WPFW - My understanding is that the pledge total was $330,000 vs a
budget goal of $400,000. This is a 17 percent shortfall. If anyone has
better info, please let me know. The drive took 17 days.
WBAI - Still in drive. As of 3 pm today (5/26) the pledge total was
$707,000 - exceeding the budgeted drive goal of $672,000. There are
still three more days to go, for a total of 27 days. The pledging rate
for this drive is higher than any WBAI drive since 2007. this is very
heartening news ... of course, WBAI still has a ways to go.
