Summer Fund Drive

The Trump Administration has sent Congress a rescissions package that would claw back already-approved funding for public media, including KBCS. These cuts would leave KBCS with a 10% gap in its budget. Our Summer Fund Drive starts Thursday, but you can help safeguard your favorite KBCS programs today. Please, donate now and thank you in advance.

$75,000 Goal

25.98%

Drive ends: June 30, 2025
