Now that the live drive has ended donations must be made online, pledges paid before March 4th are still eligible for premiums like the CKUW T-shirt or toque.

    Pledge online securely at anytime – ckuw.ca/donate or you can EMT / etransfer to [email protected] please enter any information into the notes.

    Without your support CKUW could not exist, from all the volunteers and staff of CKUWTHANK YOU!!!

  • Can’t spell CKUW without ‘YOU’!

    Posted by Rob on February 18th, 2024

    Donations during Fundrive go towards essentials at CKUW like paying for staff and covering rent for our transmitter location. Donations are also used for projects like our youth Radio Camp and our online streaming and archive system.

    Without support from listeners like you we will be forced to cut back and we may not be able to maintain all our services. Please don’t let that happen, take action and donate today. Your gift of $170 helps us get closer to the goal and you can take the CKUW hoodie premium as a thank you. These hoodies have a full front zipper, are made in Canada, comfy and warm ! Pledge today at fundrive.ckuw.ca or call us at 204-774-6877 phone lines are open 8am-8pm and during live programming.

    On Sunday morning we have passed $26,741 in donations but we need to hear from more listeners to get closer to our goal. Don’t wait, please call or make an online donation today.

    Posted by Rob on February 14th, 2024

    We are so grateful for the support we’ve received so far but we’ve still got a long ways to go!

Join in with your fellow CKUW fans in showing us how much you care about independent media, take action with a donation today to keep us alive.

    A $35 pledge pays for almost a week of Internet service to CKUW, allowing us to both receive programs from outside WInnipeg and broadcast to the world through our digital stream. Make your donation today securely online at fundrive.ckuw.ca

    We’ve returned the Fundrive ‘VU’ meter to the website, seen at the top of this page. As of Wednesday we’ve pased $15,000 THANK YOU!! Come back regularly to check on updates, we’ll change the VU for every $5,000 in donations received.
