Thousands of listeners throughout Western New York and Southern Ontario depend on Niagara Frontier Radio Reading Service every day for news, entertainment, and vital information. And we depend on you!
Listeners do not pay a subscription fee, radios are loaned at no cost, and no one is required to pay for access to Radio Reading programming. The bulk of our budget comes from the generosity of individual donors, foundations, and corporate supporters.
The information below details just a few of the ways you can support our programs and services.
Your support helps operate a reliable studio that generates live and recorded content for our listeners. Please consider making a contribution by clicking the Give button at the top of this page. Every $50 raised sponsors a listener and every $125 raised purchases a “reading radio” or helps someone without sight access our livestream and podcasts online.
Every dollar raised goes to giving people who are blind, have low vision, can’t hold a book, or have another disability a chance to read. Your donation is so needed — and so appreciated!

Underwriting support from corporations, organizations, and others is critical to our bottom line – and the act of underwriting a specific radio program provides excellent mission-focused alignment for the underwriter.
Unlike advertising, where organizations have to work hard to have their message break through the clutter of other advertisers, underwriting is set against a clean and noise-free backdrop. Since we allocate only a limited number of underwriting opportunities each day, corporations and organizations have a better chance to have their message heard.
Starting at only $2,500 and ranging up to $12,500, underwriting provides an effective and affordable vehicle for making listeners aware of events, showcase a new product or service, build your business brand, or improve your credibility in the community. We can also customize a package specifically for the needs of your business.
Additional innovations might include underwriting and/or hosting a health production for people with disabilities, a children’s special with their favorite characters, or a special languages program for Listeners whose first language isn’t English. What’s your idea?
As an underwriter, you will be credited in a very visible way on the programs you sponsor. We offer target placement to a diverse choice of audiences, the ears of potential customers, tax-deductibility, and a transparent partnership. Contact Marian Hetherly at 716-821-5555 extension 3 or marian@nfradioreading.org for more information.
