Underwriting

Underwriting is a non-commercial announcement of support about your business or organization! You can underwrite KCSU by sponsoring specific programming, or through pre-recorded announcements. KCSU is one of the largest college radio stations in the country. We reach more than 250,000 people in the Fort Collins, Greeley, and Loveland, Colorado area. Plus, we’re available worldwide on kcsufm.com, our RadioFX app, and TuneIn. Your underwriting spots help support students learning broadcast techniques, as well as our rotation of DJs throughout the semesters.

Matching Challenge Grant

$50 or more

KCSU hosts an one-week on-air fundraiser each semester to pay for the programs you love and the students who produce them. To raise funds during our DJ-athon fundraiser, we ask businesses, organizations, and regular people to donate Matching Challenge Grants, which is a certain amount of money pledged to KCSU. KCSU then asks listeners on-air to donate up to the same amount of the grant. If we meet the grant, your organization donates the full amount. We love Matching Challenge Grant donors, so we thank them for their support on radio and on social media! For every $100 that you donate, we will mention your business and services a minimum of 10X on air, plus, we’ll post about your business on Facebook. We will adjust your radio mentions and Facebook posts according to any amount you can contribute! Check out the example below.
