Life FM Ministry Mates

Life FM Gippsland is a listener-supported community station that relies on the ongoing generosity of its listeners to bring Gippsland a “better life” radio alternative.

The government has designed community radio to rely on some listener support. It does not allow stations to be dependant solely on sponsorship and limits sponsorship income potential by placing strict restrictions on sponsorship content.

Life FM believes being reliant on listener support and sponsorship income is perfect for Christian radio in Gippsland. Here are some reasons why:

  • As a listener supported station Life FM Gippsland will always value its listeners - our listeners provide a significant source of our income.
  • As a community broadcaster we cannot change our focus. We are licensed as a Christian station. If we were a commercial station, nothing would prevent us from changing our direction if financial pressure was brought to bear.
  • You won't be bombarded with too many advertisements, or sponsorship announcements, on 103.9 Life FM. By law you will never hear more than 5 minutes per hour. Most commercial stations play over 12 minutes of ads every hour.
  • Giving to Life FM Gippsland makes many listeners feel involved. It's their way of sharing their partnership with us.

So when Life FM Gippsland asks for your financial support it's not always because something is wrong. It’s simply that we rely on donations in order to remain on-air.

Given we are, and always will be, listener-supported, Life FM Gippsland is introducing another way for you to partner with us which we hope will make showing your support even easier – Ministry Mates.

As a Ministry Mate you pledge a set amount to 103.9 Life FM. We suggest a dollar a day, but you can pledge more or less depending on your circumstances. We will automatically deduct your pledge each month from your nominated account or you can sign up online through PayPal and at the end of each financial year we will send you a receipt for claiming on your tax return.

Paying your pledge in smaller monthly installments means we are less of a burden on your finances. And the regular income enables us to budget more effectively.

Here are answers to some further questions you may have:

FAQs
