The secret is out!!!! We’re on a mission to Save the Cave and Caveman from extinction!!!!
Why are we crowdfunding?
Last year Caveman took the leap to expand the station to a much bigger broadcasting area. This was in the hopes that with a bigger area it'd make the station more sustainable, and attract a greater pool of advertisers. Unfortunately, this has left the station with a mountain of debt and an uncertain future. There is a very real possibility it could go out of business without your help.
As we know 65 is the dreaded retirement number and Caveman is heading to this number at a rapid pace but because we want him to continue in radio some of his supporters have got together to help raise some funds so he can RETIRE HIS DEBT.
All proceeds will go to CaveFM to help support this fantastic local business to stay in business. CaveFM and Caveman are a huge asset to our local community and it would be a great loss to our community if this business was to close.
And this is where we need your help.
Please help us keep Cave FM alive and thriving. We've set a goal of raising $70,000 to ensure that the station we love can continue to serve our community for years to come.
Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a world of difference.
We know it's a big goal. But with your help, and the help of all our Cave FM friends out there, we reckon we can do it. We can SAVE THE CAVE!!
Yours in radio,
Little Bird
P.S. Don't forget to spread the word and share the love! The more people who know about our campaign, the closer we'll get to our goal. Let's make some noise for Cave FM!
P.P.S. If you want to keep up with all things Cave FM, you can tune in on 106.40 in Southland, stream via www.cavefm.co.nz or check us out on Facebook, Instagram or Tiktok.

We're hoping for a last bit of deadline magic to get us across the line, as we are 2/3 of the way to our goal with about 5 hours left.
Thank you to our huge community of supporters who have got behind us to Save CaveFM. It has made a huge difference already!
We’ve reached halfway funded!

The first part of our mission is complete - we've done 21 activities and had over 100 pledgers to help get us halfway towards our goal as we try to Save CaveFM!
We've decided to extend our campaign by a week - and see if with that extra time we can raise the rest.
Please spread the word, and tell everyone who loves local radio and supports small business that we'd love their help!
CaveFM is important to keep on air as it's a true local radio station. Independently owned, it receives no government funding. We are grateful to every person who has donated so far, and to everyone who has helped as well...a huge thank you!!
