  • Thursday Fundrive Facts!

    Posted by Rob on February 11th, 2010

    Did you know that 90% of CKUW’s funding comes from individuals like you?

    That’s right. We aren’t supported by the University or government grants. Instead its the strength of individual support from students and the community that makes CKUW the amazing station that it is! Our Fundrive is responsible for a huge chunk of our funding and we need your help to fulfil our budget.

    Fundrive has just passed $36,000 but we have a long way to go until our goal of $50,000. Please call now at (204) 774-6877 or pledge online or just view the incentives at fundrive.ckuw.ca

    Your calls make us smile and help support our unique radio station!

    We need $50,000 just to fulfil our basic budget and we need your help to raise that. Tell your friends and share the spirit of downtown community radio!
