NPR affiliates are accustomed to spending money, but they're also
accustomed to finding people who will donate goods, services, and
funds.

Jim, another thing worth considering is: Since you've done it in the past for
free, I'm assuming that you feel it's a worthy cause to at least some degree,
so unless you're in a position where you are now needing some cash for the gig,
why don't you bill the whole thing out at full-pop (like maybe $50 per hour, as
someone else mentioned), itemize all your time, and have the stations'
Development Director sign off on it, and write the whole thing off.

Depending on youroverall tax liabilities, $4k's worth of charitable writeoffs
at the end of the year can take a chunk off your taxes, you know! Check with
your accountant about specifics, and if this will work in your situation.
