Why Support RP?
Our plan is simple: we create the best station we possibly can, refrain from contaminating it with advertising, and then ask you to pay us what you think it's worth. So far it seems to be working out nicely. We're not likely to get rich this way, but that's not our goal.
Here at RP we're not just non-commercial. We're anti-commercial. We feel that quality radio programming and advertising just cannot co-exist. We also choose to refrain from forcibly extracting money from you by charging subscription fees. We leave it up to you to decide what our service is worth to you.

Your voluntary support enables us to devote all of our time and energy to making RP the best station possible - and pays for the bandwidth, equipment and services required to keep the station online, and for the rather substantial copyright royalties we are required to pay.
The amount of your contribution is up to you - based on your opinion of how much you enjoy RP & what you can afford. A number of listeners have adopted the "one hour's wages per month" formula - some can afford to send even more than that (thanks!), others can afford only $5 per month.
We particularly appreciate automatic monthly, quarterly or annual support payments. The more regular ongoing support we receive in that fashion the less we have to bug you on the air. Please consider choosing that option on the support form.
If you've been discouraged in the past by the need to register on our website before setting up ongoing support, please note that that is no longer necessary. You can also now set up ongoing support payments through PayPal if you wish.
We want to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who has contributed so generously to the success of Radio Paradise. We quite literally couldn't do it without you.
And, as always, we understand that contributing money is just not an option for some of you. That's fine. All streams and services at RP are open to everyone, and we will do everything in our power to keep it that way.

Safety & Security Concerns:
When sending & receiving your credit card information online we use the standard https protocol that all online commerce sites (Amazon, banks, brokerage houses, etc) use. We do not store your credit card number unless you ask us to save it to make automatic recurring payments.
If we do store credit card information on our server at your request, it's stored in an encrypted form that can only be read by the software that handles the transaction with our online banking service. We have no way to access that data ourselves, even if we wanted to, nor would anyone else who managed to break into our system (which is fanatically hacker-proofed).
We do not ever, under any circumstances, share your email address or any other information about you with any third party - nor do we engage in any kind of email or direct-mail marketing. We will send occasional (2-3 times per year) newsletters to registered users, which you can opt out of if you wish by clicking "Your Settings".
