Thanks to many generous KPR listeners, the station has raised more than $55,000 during our Summer Quiet Drive. That includes a $20,000 dollar-for-dollar matching grant provided by existing KPR listener-members and everyone who donated during the drive. Thank you so much for helping us end the fiscal year on a positive note, and happy listening!
If you'd like to join the KPR community of listener-members, the pledge line is always open at support.kansaspublicradio.org. Thanks for your support.
KPR's fiscal year is coming to a close at the end of June and we have a problem: we are ~ $20,000 shy of our membership goal, and KPR, like many media organizations, is grappling with a sharp decline in corporate sponsorship revenue. Fortunately, there is still time for you to help your community radio station.
No matter what challenges we'll all face in the coming months, you know that you can count on the unbiased journalism and the outstanding classical, jazz, folk, and incredibly strange music programming you hear on KPR every day.
Because providing the essential programs on KPR each day is not free, our community shares in both vital support for KPR and in its wide-ranging benefits.
We're in this together, so please consider making a pledge today to help us finish out this fiscal year securely. KPR is a listener-supported public radio station. Listeners help pay for the thought-provoking, well-crafted and informative programs. Listeners also pay for transmitters, computers, electricity - everything it takes to bring you those programs.
Join us starting Tuesday, June 20, when your pledge will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a group* of generous donors who have pledged $20,000. Donate online or give us a call at 888-577-5268. And thank you for your support of KPR!
