More than A Radio Station

Collage promoting autism acceptance, advocacy, and education through community and radio.

Community Radio: Broadcasting for a Better World

Our Story

Radio for a Cause began with a simple but powerful belief: every voice deserves to be heard. What started as a grassroots streaming station has evolved into a community-driven movement centered on inclusion, empowerment, and opportunity through broadcasting. Inspired by the need for greater representation and meaningful opportunities for individuals on the autism spectrum and people with disabilities, this autism radio station was created to provide a platform where individuals can build confidence, develop communication skills, share their stories, and connect with the community. Today, Radio for a Cause continues to grow through community partnerships, fundraisers, outreach, and its future vision of launching 96.9 The Spectrum FM — an inclusive community radio station dedicated to disability inclusion broadcasting in Northeast Indiana.

Fun Facts

Founded in 2017

What began as a lifelong dream of broadcasting since high school evolved into several smaller online stations before the launch of Spectrum Online Radio in September 2019. Since then, this autism radio station, known as Radio for a Cause, has grown into a community-driven movement focused on inclusive broadcasting and empowering individuals with disabilities through media, storytelling, and community connection. Our commitment to disability inclusion broadcasting has fostered a vibrant community radio platform that uplifts diverse voices.

Self Advocacy Award Recognition

John Graham, our President, has been recognized for his commitment to advocacy, inclusion, and creating meaningful opportunities for individuals on the autism spectrum and people with disabilities. This includes efforts such as establishing an adult Autism support group and contributing to an autism radio station dedicated to disability inclusion broadcasting through community radio.

Official 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Organization

As a federally recognized nonprofit organization, Radio for a Cause is committed to fostering partnerships and outreach opportunities that enhance community support for inclusive broadcasting initiatives, including our autism radio station and efforts in disability inclusion broadcasting.

The Beginning of 96.9 The Spectrum FM

What began as a simple conversation about expanding community radio quickly evolved into active negotiations to help establish 96.9 The Spectrum FM as an autism radio station in Northeast Indiana — creating a future home for inclusive FM radio and promoting disability inclusion broadcasting.
