Why does STAR 99.1 FM still need listener donations since there is now advertising on the station?
As a 501(c) (3) organization, the majority of our operating funds come from donations.

Why do you ask for additional support throughout the year? Isn't Sharathon enough?
The Sharathon goal is our minimum need to stay on the air and continue to offer the existing programming as is. In order to grow and impact more lives in this area, more funding will be necessary.

What day does my credit card get charged on monthly payments?
Your credit card will be charged on the cycle of the month you choose: either the 5th, 15th, or 25th. If the day falls on a weekend or holiday, your gift will be charged on the next business day.

Will I receive a statement at the end of the year?
Donors will receive a statement at the end of the year, and a receipt on their first gift amount in a pledge. If you do not wish to receive any receipts or statements, please feel free to contact our business office at 732-469-0991 during business hours.
