Ways to Give
Each week, Pipedreams host Michael Barone shares selected organ works and performances – and in doing so, encourages listeners to engage both their ears and imaginations to gain greater appreciation of the king of instruments. Pipedreams is available for free, because we are listener-supported public media. When you give today, you help to ensure that Pipedreams can be shared with listeners everywhere, free of charge. See which way to give best fits you!
Monthly Sustainer Giving
Monthly Sustaining gifts are one of the most effective ways to support Pipedreams. Sustaining gifts provide steady and reliable support to the music you count on every day, in a convenient, ongoing way. Each month, we will charge your credit or debit card or withdrawal from your checking account the amount you specify. Your monthly gift will automatically continue unless you choose to cancel or change it. You can increase, decrease or stop your donation at any time by calling us at 800-228-7123. Sustainers are crucial to providing an ongoing base of community support that we can rely on, so you can continue to rely on Pipedreams.
