Public-service stations like Radio Kansas used to get a federal grant each year to serve local communities with meaningful programming. Tens of thousands of dollars we were told to count on for classical music were withdrawn after this current budget year started.

Will we lose classical tomorrow without your help today? Not tomorrow, but MOST public radio stations no longer offer any classical music because support from their communities was insufficient. These federal cuts make classical an even more challenging choice. Let’s save classical music in central Kansas. It’s really pretty easy:
- Make sure you’re a current member – too many folks are mistaken.
- Don’t take a year off as a donor – be as faithful in support as you wish us to be faithful in service.
- Adjust your gift by inflation. The ten dollars you started giving years ago no longer has the same supportive power.
- Recognize that only a direct gift to Radio Kansas helps – we’re not related to public TV. No matter how generous* you are with Channel 8 (or 9…or 11) nothing you give them supports classical on the radio.
*and we hope you are generous with public TV. Support whatever non-profit media you use!
