KRBD’s Spring Pledge Drive raised more than $42,000 in just two days — a testament to the deep roots this station has in our community. Whether you donated, went on-air, stopped by, or just showed up with snacks: thank you. Genuinely.
Now we need one final push.
Our goal is $50,000 by April 5th, and we are about $8,000 away. If you haven’t yet made a gift, this is the moment. Every donation, $10 a month, $20 a month, whatever feels right to you, closes that gap and keeps KRBD independent, local, and fully yours.
During the drive, we talked honestly about what’s changed: federal funding for public radio is gone, and stations like ours are navigating that reality in real time. We’re not stepping back from our mission — we’re doubling down on it.
That includes a roughly $20,000 equipment upgrade on Prince of Wales Island, happening as soon as weather allows. It’s a significant commitment in an uncertain moment, and we’re making it because the communities we serve, Ketchikan, Saxman, Metlakatla, Craig, Klawock, Hydaburg, Thorne Bay, and everyone in between, deserve nothing less.
KRBD exists because this community believes local news and information matter. You’ve shown that belief in extraordinary ways this spring.
Let’s finish what we started. Join your neighbors and friends and make a difference for community radio. Donate before April 5th and help us reach our $50,000 goal.
