Crowdfunding for RDU50 with Boost Ōtautahi

In 2026, RDU98.5FM is turning 50. That’s fifty glorious years of broadcasting, community and championing Aotearoa music.

They have massive plans to celebrate, but they need your help. That’s why they’re running a Boosted campaign with Boost Ōtautahi.

Proceeds from this Boosted campaign will be used for:
– RDU History Book
– Gigs
– Events
– Activities
– Operational Costs

Please give generously! RDU has been primarily a free service for all to enjoy since it’s inception in 1976.

And most importantly, this will enable us to celebrate this iconic 50-year milestone with the community, the audience, and (of course) YOU!

In 2021, RDU98.5FM utilised Boosted to raise funds to build Saltbox Studios. This fit-for-purpose music hub and studio offers recording, rehearsal, events and educational courses to the local music community.

Since opening, your donations has enabled SALTBOX Studios to achieve:

– Over 150 Ōtautahi artists recorded
– 2500+ hours of rehersals
– Over 40 local artists recorded with ŌMAP
– 30+ workshops or events hosted
– Dozens of podcasts & audiobooks
