For four decades, Houston MediaSource has amplified independent voices, empowered creators, and strengthened community storytelling across Houston.
Your gift sustains the people, programs, and platforms that make Houston MediaSource a home for open, community-powered media.
An open channel where any Houston resident can produce and broadcast — uncensored, local, and accountable to the community.
Hands-on training in camera, audio, editing, and production that turns first-time storytellers into confident producers.
Local programming built by neighbors — civic coverage, faith, arts, and culture from every corner of the city.
Reporting and storytelling that amplifies perspectives mainstream outlets too often leave out.
Independent sound and spoken word streaming to Houston and beyond, lifting the voices traditional radio overlooks.
Equipment, studio space, and know-how made available to the whole community — not just those who can afford it.
For 40 years HMS has preserved and broadcast the traditions, neighborhoods, and people that make Houston one of the most diverse cities in America — keeping local culture on the record and on the air.
QR-powered giving lets supporters donate directly from a flyer, broadcast lower-third, event banner, or social post — secure, app-free, and built for the next era of community engagement technology.
One tap from any printed or on-air QR code takes supporters straight to a secure donation checkout — no app, no friction.
Encrypted, PCI-compliant checkout so every contribution — from any device, anywhere — is processed safely.
OQRIS attributes each scan to its campaign and source, giving HMS clear insight into community engagement and what inspires Houston to give.
The same scan-to-support technology is ready to power on-the-ground giving and engagement during Houston's World Cup 2026 activations.
Every level keeps community broadcasting, creator training, and independent voices on the air. Pick the gift that fits — each one goes straight to secure checkout.
Stand with 40 years of public access media. A foundational gift that keeps the channel open for every Houston creator.
