And as they age and retire/move away/die, they're not being replaced. <BR/><BR/>Most public radio stations place growing the membership base on par with hitting the monetary goal for the drive. 10%-20% growth is considered a good target (depending on the market size and other factors).<BR/><BR/>And remember -- a growth in donors doesn't have to have a one-to-one correspondence with a growth in listenership. It can be accomplished by getting the fund-raising message out more effectively.Ralph Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14758413012114957573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32516736.post-8306864375381330432008-10-30T16:51:00.000-04:002008-10-30T16:51:00.000-04:00How sustainable is it going forward?How sustainable is it going forward?Sean Tubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12703508034749435266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32516736.post-19926369991567547912008-10-30T16:14:00.000-04:002008-10-30T16:14:00.000-04:00It's inertial.
