Update: 29th November 2024

In the last few hours of the Hope for Everyone Appeal, your 96five reached 74% of the funding goal for November fundraising appeal.

Your financial gift and prayers are helping make hope possible for almost half a million people every month not only through 96.5FM, but through online streaming, on-demand content, online and social media content and on the ground ministry such as Prayer, Brissy Brekky Club’s, strategic partnerships and community activities.

Thank you for your generosity Brisbane!! You can still donate to 96five here.

We’re well below the $750,000 that is needed to keep your 96five on air.
Key points

So, we’re going into overtime.

We had so many beautiful moments this week like hearing from kids who gave their pocket money, and Jason who despite not being a church goer, is giving on behalf of his daughter.

“My daughter, she’s 14, she’s actually just started going to church on a semi regular basis. I’m not a church goer but I understand that she’s looking to make up her own mind about those sorts of things and I’m more than happy for her to do it. The lessons that they’re teaching and the thoughts they’re bringing up with the kids you won’t find in the mainstream media. It’s good to have a radio station like this that does have that different perspective.” Jason

We always love chatting with you, Brisbane! It’s such a highlight for us.

But at the time of writing this article, we’re only 50.2% funded.

If you have been able to give this November, thank you for saying YES and getting behind a message of hope for Brisbane! If you were one of the prayer warriors who were faithfully and diligently praying through the appeal – thank you!

When you give to 96five, you make hope possible for more than 400,000 people every month.

“In 1999 I left a domestic violence relationship and 96five was my saviour. Chuck Swindoll, I used to listen to him all the time to keep me through those horrible times. It gives me that hope and encouragement and like so many people say, when you’re feeling down – you listen to the station and a word or song just lifts you up.” Judy

“The callers we’ve had and the stories we’ve heard about 96five’s impact on so many lives in Brisbane have been inspiring!” said Arthur Muhl, 96five General Manager.

“While we’re not quite at our funding goal for 2024 yet, we’re trusting in God’s provision in the weeks and months to come.

“Together we can do so much in bringing hope, encouragement and inspiration to people and families here in Brisbane and beyond.”

Guess how many hampers you’ve made available this week?

Our partnership with Hands & Feet has been such a blessing. It’s one of the things you’ve mentioned frequently on the phone and in your comments this appeal.

Through your generosity, 96five has partnered with Hands & Feet to provide over 1,628 hampers for families across Brisbane, this Christmas.

Over 1,628 Hands & Feet hampers delivered.

“Through the 96five November appeal, each of the local churches that participate in the Hands & Feet food program will receive food hampers to distribute to families facing food security issues,” said Marc Eslick, from Hands & Feet.

“Every food hamper received by the local churches will provide fresh, frozen and pantry staples to each family for two weeks, which as we lead into Christmas will be such a blessing to every family.

“Each of the participating local churches will provide 35 families facing food security issues food for 2 weeks leading into Christmas significantly relieving the pressure over this time.”
