Why?
KGNU's budget is relatively small because of the work of its 200 plus volunteers.
Still, money is required for KGNU's operating budget: programming, maintenance, salaries...
This is why we ask you, the KGNU listener and supporter, to help pay for KGNU's day-to-day operating costs with your membership.
If you value KGNU, as an alternative to corporate media, as a source of independent views and music, as a resource to be cherished and cared for, it's up to you to make it grow.
Please do so with your membership.
Your contribution to KGNU on-line supports programs like
- Democracy Now!
- the Morning Sound Alternative
- Alan Watts
- Old Grass Gnu Grass
- This American Life
AND helps us pay for the system that delivers these programs: our redesigned website, expanded server capacity, our source to shift to open source software and renewable energy to power it all.
So, Join now!
How much?
On the average, your fellow KGNU listeners pledge over $ 100 / year. Here's the data.
We encourage you to pledge $ 88.5 (that's our frequency - clever, eh?) or $ 120 ($ 10 / month with an Automatic Fund Transfer).
But we'll gladly accept your membership at the basic level of $ 40 ($ 30 for students and single parents).
More?
Many KGNU supporters want to do more. Here are some ways you can put more money into KGNU.

Premiums
For your membership, you get to help support a very unique radio station for one year.
Also, if you you would like, we'd be glad to give you a thank you gift (a premium).
This also gives you an opportunity to see our studios when you come to pick-up your premium.
KGNU offers a wide selection of premiums: CDs, books, concert tickets and a variety of other items.
As a thank you for becoming a member, we'd like to offer you:
- Downloads of MP3 files of talks by KGNU favorite speakers!
- T-Shirts!
- CDs of talks by KGNU favorite speakers or a music compilation on CD!
These are typical premiums, though other premiums may be available at other times, and certain high value premiums may require a higher level membership.
The premium level depends on your membership level.
Please understand that we may be out of your requested premium, in which case we will offer you an equivalent one.

To choose your premium:
- During our pledge drive, ask for a particular premium offered on the air at that time.
- If you call during our pledge drive, the operator can help you choose a premium.
- At any time during business hours you can stop by and browse through our library of premiums.
-
If you join securely on line, as a premium you can choose to download to your computer an MP3 file of a talk given by some of KGNU's favorite speakers.
For your pledge of $40 or more, enjoy the convenience and the quality of some of KGNU's top talks.
To do so, when becoming a Member of KGNU on line, select the MP3(s) you wish to download from the "Premiums Desired" dropdown list.
You will receive a username and password by email.
File Downloads will be available for download for up to three days from date of purchase.
Help with MP3 downloads.
These MP3 downloads are fully compatible with any computer or device that can play high-quality MP3 encoded files.
They contain the same material as our CDs, encoded at high-quality 128 kbps bitrate compression.
Due to the quality compression used, these downloads are very large (about 50 MB on average). For example, they take about 20 minutes on a DSL, and 2.5 hours on a 56K dial-up.
Before you purchase, please check to make sure your internet connection is fast enough to handle the download.
We don't recommend downloading these files over a modem connection speed of 28.8 K or slower.
