22 reasons to support WFNU-LP Frogtown Radio in 2022!

WFNU-LP was created by the community, for the community. While our focus is on the Frogtown neighborhood of Saint Paul, our reach goes well beyond Frogtown’s borders through broadcast, online and media partnerships. Here are 22 reasons to support Frogtown Radio this year!

1. WFNU-LP Frogtown Radio, operated by Frogtown Tuned-In a 501c3 non-profit organization, amplifies diverse voices of Frogtown and surrounding communities. Our commitment is to provide a positive, healing, safe and empowering platform to allow all community voices to be heard.
2. We have a goal to raise $22,000 to support our mission to encourage, educate, provide arts access, train community members in broadcast skills, and encourage citizen journalism that shines a true, holistic and realistic sense of community.
