Hometown Heroes | Airwaves in Action

Woof Boom Radio takes our role seriously as partners to those in the cities and towns we serve. WLBC continues to assist some remarkable organizations in making a difference in our community with the WLBC Hometown Heroes and 104.9 WERK-FM and 93-5 MAX with the Airwaves in Action Grant Program. Please consider completing this application if you want our promotional support. Each month, we provide an investment of our resources representing over $10,000 of promotional and commercial support to a deserving organization.

This is not a cash grant but rather the commitment of WLBC & WMUN or WERK-FM & 93.5 MAX resources – with a coverage area that reaches nearly half a million people.  We can only award a select number of grants each year. Those organizations awarded a Hometown Heroes or Airwaves in Action Grant will receive the most significant commitment of our resources. For the worthwhile causes that do not receive a grant, we will frequently support their efforts by providing access to our community calendar and announcements.

No other area media organization has our extensive reach; therefore, we receive many deserving requests.  As a locally owned business committed to using our resources judiciously to give back to the community, we ask those groups seeking our support to help us determine how best to dedicate our efforts.  Each month one community organization will be the recipient of this Grant.

Those requests that address improving issues related to health, education, and economic development will receive special consideration.  We also look to support programs or initiatives that address a specific social condition and have a plan that can accomplish stated objectives.

For consideration, the organization or cause must be one of the following:

  • A 501c3 (or other designated not-for-profit organization) and can provide documentation.
  • An educational, government, or city agency.
  • In an emergency crisis situation.
  • An event that is free and open to the public.

 The deadline to apply is March 24, 2025.
