Our
support comes from three major sources: individual gifts and monthly
supporters, churches viewing the station as part of their missionary
outreach, and business and church underwriting of programming on the NH
Gospel Radio Network.
Thus
far we have been blessed with hundreds of individuals who have
given gifts or made monthly commitments to this ministry.
Our vision to extend this ministry goes far beyond today's basic
operation and current expenses. Thus, we urge continued prayer, giving
and underwriting of our programming. We do need increased financial
resources in order to reach our goals of extending the gospel.

Underwriting Policy
NH Gospel Radio welcomes program underwriting to supplement local
church and listener support. However, potential conflict of interest
and possible listener misperception or confusion regarding the
underwriter's role and/or influence on programming will be considered
in accepting or rejecting underwriting.
Guidelines
for Underwriting Programs
Underwriters of the programming on noncommercial radio stations are
legally required to be identified. Although contributors receive on-air
acknowledgments, the Federal Communications Commission has
unequivocally stated that such acknowledgments may be made "for
identification purposes only and should not promote the contributor's
products, services, or company." Accordingly such announcements may not
contain comparative or qualitative descriptions, price information,
calls to action, or inducements to buy, sell, rent or lease.
FCC guidelines provide that " . . . donor acknowledgments utilized by
public broadcasters may include (1) logos or slogans which identify and
do not promote, (2) location, (3) value neutral descriptions of a
product line or service, (4) brand and trade names and product or
service listings."
FCC guidelines specifically prohibit noncommercial stations from
broadcasting announcements that promote the sale of goods and services
of for-profit entities in exchange for consideration paid to the
station.
On WVNH, your underwriting announcement can state your name, location
and describe your product or service without making a qualitative,
comparative or promotional statement.
