As we near the end of our 2020 fiscal year, we ask you for a donation to support your community radio station. Your contribution will not only ensure that KZUM can still provide vital resources and awesome music but will also help to secure a very important grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
Every year at KZUM, we dedicate Labor Day Weekend to celebrating the blues. Starting at 1 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 4, KZUM will feature 84 straight hours of the blues. You can see the schedule here.
KZUM was part of a national conversation with dozens of other community radio stations, facilitated by the National Federation of Community Broadcasters. The goal was to seek out roadblocks, create support and define a path toward a more equitable industry. The result was the formation of a nationwide cohort of stations who are committing to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion as organizational priorities. On July 16, 2020, the KZUM Board of Directors unanimously voted to join this important cohort.

Your fund drive premiums can be picked up when you call ahead for curbside pick up.
The Jazz in June concert originally scheduled for June 2, 2020 has been postponed until July 7.

All of the money we raise will be turned in on Give To Lincoln Day, May 28. You can help us between now and then by calling in your donation at 402-474-5086 ext. 1 or by donating, online, here. Please leave a comment when donating online and let us know which show(s) are your favorite!
