Donate to support NEXUS-IBA projects in broadcasting and electronic media!
NEXUS-International Broadcasting Association (NEXUS-IBA) is a non-profit association which has elected to do something different in the world of media and free flow of information. Our Shortwave station and Internet services are built on the premise that profits are not the be-all and end-all of broadcasting. We are an all-volunteer cooperative with less than 15 people giving their spare time to keep us alive.
We do this largely because we are a free organization with no
political or religious ties, and because of the free access
policies of our operation. Since 1979, when all this began,
anyone with anything halfway sensible to say has been able to
access our microphones and send their unabridged message worldwide,
even if it meant having to run the risk
of criticism. In fact, ours is one of the very few experiments
in genuinely cultural, religious (non denominational), free-speech and open media access with a truly global outreach since the early beginning.
In addition to Shortwave, we are also on the Internet. Needless to say, our multimedia platform is very demanding, both in time as well as financially. We carry no advertising on our stations, and currently there is no commercial sponsorship except the active support of our volunteers, our Association members, and our listeners.
We want to continue to provide our services to the global community, to regions and troubled places where others cannot reach an audience, and that's why we're now asking for your support by subscribing to NEXUS-IBA.
Why should I donate?
If I donate financially, where would my donations go?
Currently, the bulk of our financial obligations are
going towards providing our technical infrastructure
- transmitters airtime and servers bandwidth that we require. Often we are unable to
air some of the programs we are asked to broadcast, because of
lack of funds to pay for the electricity and
transmitter time. I'd like to talk to someone about supporting your initiatives!

As a volunteer-based organization, NEXUS-IBA stands
most in need of dedicated volunteers who can work on
our broadcasting and media related projects. NEXUS-IBA provides the
infrastructure for the projects and most all of the
administrative effort is currently through unpaid
volunteers.
Still we need financial assistance i.e. to purchase
spare parts for our transmitters, hardware, software,
tubes (valves), electricity, rent, bandwidth in
order to keep our servers up and our radio transmitters
running for the benefit of our international community.
On Shortwave radio and via streaming audio & video we reach daily the most troubled regions of the world, including Palestine, Gaza, Israel, Africa (i.e. Sudan, Darfour, the Congo), and the Middle and Far East (Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, China, India, Pakistan, etc.). Sometime we reach these and other parts of the world with just special or weekly broadcasts if donors are unable to provide funding for daily coverage.
If you wish to provide equipment for use by NEXUS-IBA, please contact us before attempting to
send it "here" directly -- the nature of our global
non-profit operations are such that any equipment and services
used to support our projects may be located where they are best needed,
i.e. all over the world!
