One thing you might want to do to save fundraising cost -- maybe you've thought of this already -- is to not send physical mail solicitations to those who've been donating exclusively electronically.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:20am David D:

Where's that pledge link again? Oh here it is...
pledge.wfmu.org...
  10:23am Listener Robert:

I used to send checks, but in recent years only PayPal, and thought that if you responded to the trend, you might save by not physically mailing the solicitation. Of course it's possible some donors may go back to checks, or may keep a physical mail address and change e-mail address, but I don't know whether that justifies a routine letter mailing.

  11:07am Listener Robert:

James, I now have a comparison for that transition: the purchase of WNTI, Centenary College, to U. of Penn, who affiliated with NPR. Now their staff has essentially re-formed as Newt Radio on stream. They had the good fortune to have been ousted at a time when streaming audio was already a thing, and a friend who was a supporter of the arts who'd recently purchased the Newton Theatre. But would streaming even have been such a thing now had it not been for WFMU? Yeah, probably, but may have taken years longer.

Recently put my money where my yammering mouth is when I subscribed after decades of deprivation to Fanfare ("The Magazine for Serious Record Collectors"). Like WFMU's best, it is both an education and an inspiration. The reviewers are hella smart and knowledgeable. Better, one quickly learns what they like, what they don't, and why.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:13am David D:

There are so many reasons to support this station, stream, and this show in particular. I almost hesitate to mention the great prizes that are available this hour, but I will...

Amanaz Africa (2CD)

Soul Sok Sega: Sega Sounds from Mauritius1973-79 (CD)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:15am David D:

And that's for pledges $20 and over - for $75 you automatically get the Give the Drummer Radio compilation CD, and are in the drawing for Bobo Yeye : Belle Epoque in Upper Volta (3 CD Box
w/176 page book)

no, the threat is unambiguously existential ;-))
Avatar 11:17am Kris Holmes:

The Bobo Yeye box is incredible, Numero sent me the vinyl box when it came out & it blew me away, it was all new to me & fantastic. The photos in the book are incredible, the backstory is bananas & the music is outstanding!!!!

Thanks for the shout-out. I'm looking forward this premium. We listen at our house because the main WFMU stream sometimes just needs to be turned off. This stream is next in line; it's consistent; and it sometimes even has kwela.

I always admired Tamil script, so much that when I'd vacation as a kid with my parents I'd hunt down the Gideon's bible in the hotel room to find the array of scripture translated into various languages, including Tamil.
