Hello! My name is Nora Stimpson, On-Air Fundraising Associate for KERA/KXT in Dallas, TX.
1. Our music station (KXT) is a AAA, I have been in my role for about 10 months, I moved from our Revenue Operations Team to On-Air Fundraising! I have been in the nonprofit world for about 4.5 years and public media for 2 years!
2. The biggest pain point I feel I am learning about is sensitivity to our community and outside world while attempting to fundraise; it can be tough to toggle the respect and understanding there’s a lot going on in the world but we do still need to fundraise to make sure we can bring more music, news, and interest to our fellow community as well!
3. I hope to gain more professional connections, and hearing what creative opportunities that are possible through on-air fundraising that other AAA stations are doing within their realms. Also just excited to know more about Public Media within different stations!
