The Real FM Fall Fundraiser 2026

The air is getting crisp, the pumpkin spice discourse is in full swing, and somewhere in Northwest Arkansas, someone is already wearing a flannel they absolutely did not need to put on yet. Fall is officially doing its thing.

And here at Real FM, fall means one thing: it's time for our Fall Fundraiser. Yes, this is the part where we ask for your support. But stick with us, because this year there's an extra exciting reason to give.

Real FM is launching on a brand new signal in Fort Smith this fall!

That means more people, in more places, getting the refreshing pop and hip-hop they didn't know they needed. No commercial breaks every four minutes trying to sell you something you didn't ask for. Just great music, real conversations, and a whole lot of hope.

But here's the thing about growth: it doesn't happen without people who believe in it. That's where you come in.

Real FM is community-supported, which means your generosity is literally what makes this possible. And it's not abstract. It's real people, in real moments, finding something they didn't know they were looking for. Like Megan, who's been holding it down with the online player while waiting for Fort Smith to get the signal:

"This station was the soundtrack of my summer! I cannot wait to get this station in Fort Smith, but I'm so thankful to have the online player. The music on Real FM is the best!"
—Megan, Fort Smith

Megan's moment is coming. And your gift helps make sure it does.

Or take Rebecca, who's been with us since day one:

"I've been listening since this station came on the radio at 100.3 FM. It's uplifting, and it gets me through my drives to work and home and everywhere in between. It gives me time with God. We talk and I pray on all my drives and just love to worship with the music played on this station!"
—Rebecca, Gravette

That's what this is about. Not just a radio station. A daily rhythm of hope for people who need it, whether they're commuting to work, sitting in traffic, or just trying to get through the week.

When you give, you're not just keeping the signal strong in Northwest Arkansas. You're helping us reach the River Valley, and every person out there who hasn't found us yet but absolutely needs to.

So would you consider partnering with us this fall? When you give $20/month or more, we'll send you an exclusive Real FM t-shirt as a thank you. Because you deserve something for being the kind of person who does something amazing with their money.

Let's bring the pop, the hip-hop, and the hope to even more people this fall!
