Ways You Can Help

TRRS depends entirely on financial contributions from local governments, United Way, civic organizations, and individuals.

As TRRS is not available through an ordinary FM radio, listeners are loaned specially tuned receivers that cost TRRS about $25 each. They are provided free of charge to those living in the broadcast area, although some listeners contribute as they are financially able.

• Your Contacts
  Tell TRRS about friends and family members who could benefit from the Reading Service. Also tell your friends, neighbors and associates about this worthwhile program and encourage them to support it with their time, talent and donations.
  
• Your Time
  Become a TRRS volunteer. Assist with on-air reading, engineering, scheduling, fund raising, public outreach and other projects. Training programs are offered to all volunteers.
  
• Your Donations
  Become a TRRS supporter. Send your tax-deductible gift in any amount to the Triangle Radio Reading Service. A $100 donation will purchase 4 special TRRS receivers for 4 listeners. A donation of $750 provides the operating funds for one full day of broadcasting.  You may also phone in a contribution to be charged to a credit card.
