Drive Announcements & News:
The one-week sprint! Early bird and extra giving are important this year to help us finish on time. Stay tuned in for prize drawings and other early bird promotions.
2026 is our 2nd year without federal funding. KDNK has to make up a $174,000 gap every year. Please give generously to help KDNK stand and thrive as an independent listener-supported source of news, local voices, stories, music and culture.
Check out the new KDNK App for your phone. Search for "KDNK Community Radio" in Apple or Google Play app stores.
Make membership the beginning! Loyal listeners Will & Sue in Leadville are issuing a Donor-Advised Fund giving challenge for the drive.
You can also make plans to give through your will, retirement accounts, or in-kind giving of old vehicles, LPs, property, or stock.
Merch must be picked up in person unless you have made special arrangements. First come first serve for limited quantities.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for keeping the beat going on KDNK for 43 years and long into the future!
