  • We Need More Pledges!

    Posted by Rob on February 17th, 2026

    Time is running out on Fundrive 2026 our annual celebration of community radio. We are currently just past $36,000, a long way from our goal of $60,000 and we need your help!

    Donate Today

    A one time donation of $35 helps out a lot and you can receive the Friends of CKUW card as a thank you. Give $125 and you’re covering our transmitter rent for about three days. Whatever amount you can donate, we will put it to work maintaining CKUW and making the best community radio we can!

    Please don’t wait, Fundrive success is critical for our budget, we don’t want to cut services we want to make CKUW better! We know that you feel the same, please make a contribution today, donate now

  • Fundrive is at 24,990!

    After almost seven days of Fundrive we are getting closer to halfway to our goal! Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated, if you haven’t yet made a pledge we really need you to donate today, go to fundrive.ckuw.ca to make a gift now!

    A gift of $35 may not seem like much for a whole year of radio, in fact it’s less than ten cents a day but for CKUW it’s one step towards our overall goal of $60,000. We believe in the power of community and collective action, many of us working together, each doing a little bit can achieve huge things. Make a call today to CKUW – 204-774-6877 and act to keep CKUW on the air.

    We are proud to be listener driven in our programming and our funding. Listener support enables the creative programming you hear on CKUW by preventing censorship and outside interference. The shows you hear are the honest output of our hosts, products of their creativity and passions. Our hosts speak to you like a friend, someone you can trust.

    Stations that rely on corporate or government support often have to temper their programming and and aim to a mass market. At CKUW we can be daring because we know that’s what our listeners want!

    Support from friends like you is critical to keep our station alive and preserve a place for community engagement and cultural celebration. Donate now at fundrive.ckuw.ca Donate $35 or more and we can give you the Friends of CKUW card as a thank you. Call 204-774-6877 or donate online today. fundrive.ckuw.ca
