Matching Challenge Grant

$100 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.
