Why People Give

For over thirty years, the River legacy has been listener supported.  The vision and mission that God gave to the founders of this station is still reflected in the comments of our giving listeners.  Here are some that we have recently received:

    • "I found Christ at a River concert and I want to make sure others have this same opportunity."

    • "It brings joy to our hearts to give!"

    • "When I’ve needed prayer, The River has given me a place to call.  So I give in case others might need prayer too. "

    • "We look forward to serving with The River in the various community outreach programs.  If the radio station wasn’t "here there would be many lost opportunities to share in these  outreach services, and get the word out about how to help others. "

    • "I love the music; it helps me through the day."

    • "Along with my church, The River keeps me focused on the Lord.  I tithe to my church and am now led to help The River financially as well."

    • “I have been enjoying your stations music and want to ‘help you help others.’  Recently, a friend visited from out of town.  She told me she found a great radio station driving to my house called the River.  I said it’s the only radio station I listen to."

    • “My son (3 years old) made a $1.00 donation from his ‘snoopy bank!’  His daddy is in Iraq with the Army – he loves listening to the River…he says it makes him feel better.”

    • "I am planting a seed into the ministry of the River.  The station and music have been a true blessing to me in my daily life.”

    • “Been listening since you first came on the air almost 30 years ago.  You are a gift to Central Ohio.  My small pledge comes with much gratitude and many prayers for all you go through for your listeners!”

We could share with you hundreds more testimonies just like these.  When you give to the River, you share God’s love and support God’s work, a work that literally reaches around the world.  The River connects people to Christ and community through music, ministry outreach and education.

Your gifts to the River are not small things.  They have an ongoing ripple effect.  When just one person is touched by God’s love through your support of the River ministry, they are able to reach out to others with God’s love.  Soon, you become a vital link in reaching thousands of lives – many you will never know about until you reach heaven.

Our broadcasts, events and community partnerships are all ways for the River to share faith, give hope and open hearts to the message of God’s love.  We couldn’t do any of this without your financial support.  So, to you, our generous, giving listeners…thank you!  

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs for employees contributions. Find out if your company has a matching gift policy.

If you are prayerfully considering the decision to give to the River, we praise God for opening your heart to the blessings that can be yours when you join the River and help us share Christ with the world.
