Why Radio Heritage Foundation needs your donations ..........Every year we save more collections of Pacific wide radio memorabilia from the trash can or the fireplace, find more forgotten hours of audio, search out and rescue old magazines, books and memorabilia that hold treasures of their time, save oral histories and stories from radio pioneers, research historic features and articles and bring you a taste of what's in our collections for free at our global website www.radioheritage.net........

...........We're a registered non-profit organization and our total income in 2008-2009 was just US$6300. This covers only a small proportion of our operational costs [such as office overheads, power, broadband, consumables, travel etc] and we can't afford to pay wages so our full time volunteers have mortgaged their own home to underwrite operational costs and their living expenses for 5 years.........

........... That's why your financial support, partnerships and volunteer time is so important to us, because what you see at www.radioheritage.net is only the tip of an iceberg of Pacific wide radio heritage you're entitled to share. We're regulated by the Charities Commission in New Zealand with whom we file annual and financial reports although we operate globally.

PS...remember, donations of US$20, $40 and $50 qualify for our range of thank you gifts and our free Radio Hauraki memorabilia offer whilst stocks last.
.....and visit our Amazon bookstores and Pacific Radio Shack for great holiday season gift ideas and free shipping options PPS...how are today's radio stories, popular culture connections and heritage being saved for future generations in a digital world where the click of a mouse can destroy thousands of images and hours of audio?
