With support from the California Arts Council, Best Frequencies, Inc. will be able to fulfill our total annual operating budget for 2021 despite a lack of earned income from events. In 2020 we were forced to draw $11,000 from our contingency fund in order to cover the loss of income.
BFF.fm is:
a community radio station made up of of 150 volunteer DJs, who produce 115 weekly radio programs focusing on local and underground music, creating opportunities to learn radio and DJ skills
a podcast network that highlights independent and emerging podcast creators whose content uplifts Bay Area music, community, arts, and culture, and matches them with experienced mentors who guide them as they improve their skills
We create paid opportunities for local musicians in a no strings attached environment. Prior to the pandemic we’ve also promoted and curated concerts featuring local acts from marginalized communities around the Bay Area. In 2020 we moved our flagship concert series, the Besties Bash, online.
