CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| WFSK utilizes it non-profit status to sustain itself by soliciting program sponsors, underwriters, and regularly scheduled annual fund drives. Other opportunities have developed over the years through concert and festival ticket sales, station merchandise sales, etc. Only staffed by 2 full-time employees, WFSK has some limitations on having a full time employee devoted to seeking additional revenue. |
