Walking the Margins: Mental Health & Housing Precarity Along Admiral

SUPPORT OUR SHOW AS AN UNDERWRITER
What is underwriting?
In public radio, the term “underwriting” is used for on-air announcements acknowledging financial support. It’s a cost-effective alternative to commercial advertising and a great way for your business or organization to connect with our loyal listeners. Although underwriting is different than traditional advertising, use it as you would any other marketing vehicle to position your services or products, or to brand your business as a whole.
Your underwriting support may be tax deductible
