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:
- 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.
