As attacks on public media increased this year, we’ve counted on listeners and readers like you to be more than supporters but defenders of our critical public service mission.
With federal funding eliminated, KUNR’s fall fund drive was the fundraiser that would define the station’s path forward. Because of you — our supporters — we’re one step closer to becoming 100% community supported.
While there’s still an uncertain and challenging path ahead, the steps we take at KUNR will be confident because of the ongoing support we’ve received from our community.
Your support means more now than ever. From all of us at KUNR, KNCJ, and KNCC, thank you! 💙 💜 🧡
