KZUM celebrates 40 years on the air this month and we marked the occasion with our first fund drive of the year, Feb. 2-9. With a goal of $35,000, listeners again rose to the occasion to support the station, giving us a jump start on our fourth decade!

We are incredibly grateful for the community support that has helped get the station to this point and we’re looking forward to bringing you many exciting things in 2018.

Did you miss out on the fund drive? It’s not too late to claim your vintage KZUM T-shirt reprint or the brand new 40th anniversary shirt!

DONATE TO KZUM NOW

Listeners stepped up in the biggest way yet in 2017, helping KZUM secure its $300,000 local fundraising goal for the second year in a row. That ensured that the station will continue to be eligible f0r $72,000 in long-running Corporation for Public Broadcasting grant funding. When this requirement was first established a few year ago, we were unsure what the future held. But this community came forward with the affirmation that it does support community radio, helping to set funding records for KZUM in both 2016 and 2017.

Now, it’s more important than ever to sustain this growth into 2018. The success of the previous two years have put in motion exciting new things, like KZUM’s internship program, its forthcoming podcast partners program, more community events than ever, and many other important ways that we will put the money right back into our community.

When you donate today, we’ll thank you with one of the many great gifts, including TWO possible T-shirts!

KZUM counts on everyone who listens to sustain local radio in Lincoln. Thank you for supporting KZUM.
