No. Monthly, recurring gifts continue until BRIGHT-FM receives 10 days notification to cancel.
If I have a question about my gift, who do I call?
We’d be happy to help you! Just let us know what we can do regarding your mail, phone calls, receipting, benefits or changes in the amount or way you give. You can contact Kellye Beaman by email or call at 410-584-9790, ext. 607 during business hours.
Is it secure if I donate online?
Yes. You can check that your online gifts are secure by noting the “https” at the beginning of the url address. The “s” means secure.
Is my gift tax deductible?
Yes, it is. Donations are tax-deductible to the full extent permitted by the law. BRIGHT-FM is a ministry of Peter and John Radio Fellowship, Inc., which is an exempt organization as described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
If you receive any goods or services in exchange for your donation, the fair market value will be reflected on your receipt and the tax deductible amount of your donation will be the net amount after deducting the fair market value of the goods and services received.

When the weather gets warmer, you might have trouble hearing the radio signal for BRIGHT-FM. This is caused by inversion – the refraction of radio waves due to the change in density in the atmosphere between colder air and warmer air. On certain warmer days, this impacts the radio signals, causing massive static and, in some areas, an inability to tune into the signal at all.
Don’t worry, though. You can still listen to BRIGHT-FM on 103.1FM in affected areas and on your Alexa device, the BRIGHT-FM app, or stream live.
