What is Friends of Near?We would like to announce to you a new project that Near Media Co-op is launching. Friends of Near is a way for you to support the community work of Near Media Co-op. As you may be aware we source funding from many varied strands as we do not get regular or ring-fenced state funding. While we have been fortunate to be able to draw on different grants from the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) and other sources we are always looking at innovative ways of getting a regular income, and also a chance to get our community more involved. And so, we’d like to introduce Near’s new project  Friends of Near , which we think will  give  friends and family the chance to actively support the community media work we love doing.What we are asking from you?

We are asking you to commit to a donation €5 per month on a continuous basis. Anyone can become a Friend of Near such as the listeners of your programme or family and friends – so please tell them about this exciting project.

You can subscribe via Paypal:
