  • There is no CKUW without U! (you)

    Posted by Rob on February 12th, 2015

    Please, right now, we need you to make a pledge to CKUW and support our Fundrive. Click fundrive.ckuw.ca or call us at 204-774-6877

    So far, listener contributions have reached $40,083 but we only have one day left to hit our goal of $60,000. Any amount of pledge is welcome but the more you give the more you can get back with our unique incentives and thank-you gifts. This year we had local artist Suzie Smith create the Fundrive art that adorns our exclusive shirts and hoodies. For a donation of $95.90 you can receive a handmade CKUW mug from Karen Taylor Fine Art Porcelain

    These unique incentives are only available during Fundrive, pledge today if you want to show your support for ad-free radio!

  • We Need YOU To Reach Our $60K Goal!

    $60K. That’s our Fundrive goal for this year. It represents 25% of our annual budget and is the bare minimum we need pledged and paid to maintain our current level of radio service to you listeners. Like any small business, we have fixed costs and those never go down.

    Community support has been the foundation of our success from the very beginning. Call 204-774-6877 now and keep the tradition of listener supported, independent radio growing in Winnipeg. For a full list of incentives and to pledge on line visit fundrive.ckuw.ca.

    Thank you to everyone who has pledged support to CKUW’s Fundrive so far. We’ve had $34K come in since the campaign started last Friday. Fundrive ends at 6pm Friday, February 13. Don’t delay. Pledge NOW!
