At Kansas Public Radio, we're not just a radio station – we're a reflection of the community we serve. Every show, every conversation, every song is shaped by you and for you. We believe in the power of local stories, local music, and local voices to bring us closer together, especially in times when it feels like the world is pulling us apart.
But we can’t do it without you. Your support helps keep the programs you love on the air, strengthens local journalism, and ensures that diverse voices continue to be heard. This is your station, and together, we can make sure it thrives for years to come.
Join us in keeping KPR vibrant, independent, and rooted in our community. Together, we can continue the conversation, tell the stories, and build a place that’s truly ours.
Donate today – because public radio is powered by people like you. Join in during the on-air membership drive, beginning Friday, April 4. You may call 888-577-5268 to donate over the phone.
In honor of our Campaign for Community, we're giving away dozens of tickets to community events / attractions across our listening area! Click HERE to sign up for any or all of the tickets offered this drive. (Winners will be chosen the week of April 14 and notified by email.)
Looking for a bit of fun during the drive? Test your ears and explore a new program or two with KPR RADIO (BINGO)! Listen closely for special words, phrases or voices throughout the week - if you can fill your entire board by week's end, you'll be entered to win a pair of tickets to the Topeka Zoo's Roar and Pour event on April 26.
Completed boards may be sent to emdemarchi@ku.edu.
