Donate Food to KALX!
Dear Friends of Community Radio:
The annual KALX Radio fundraiser is fast approaching! KALX is UC Berkeley’s student and community run radio station, broadcasting at 90.7 FM to the Bay Area for over 61 years and providing a meaningful alternative to commercial radio.
As a volunteer-run station, KALX’s operating budget is primarily raised through our annual fundraiser which will run from Monday, April 15th through Wednesday, April 24th.
We are asking if your business would be willing to feed our many fundraiser volunteers and the DJs on air. By contributing to our fundraiser, your business will benefit from:
- ON-AIR PUBLICITY: We thank businesses for sponsoring the fundraiser and mention their address over the air. Reach anywhere between 2000-5000 local listeners!
- TAX DEDUCTION: We are a non-profit organization and can provide a receipt of your contribution for tax deductible purposes as allowable by law.
Anything you can provide would be greatly appreciated! If you would like to feed our volunteers working the phones, food does not have to “look” especially good, so day-olds or damaged goods are happily accepted.
KALX is a valuable community resource that can only continue to provide our unique listening experience with the support of the people we serve.
If you would like to support our fundraiser or have any questions, please contact us at (510) 642-1111 or by email at fundraiser@kalx.berkeley.edu. No donation is too small! We can send you our official donation letter with our tax ID information.
KALX is a big supporter of the local and campus community and we would love the opportunity to highlight businesses who support us on air.
Thank you for considering donating to us!
Email us at fundraiser@kalx.berkeley.edu or call us at 510-642-1111 and ask to speak to Andi Rusk, Operations Supervisor
The KALX 2024 Spring Fundraiser is Coming Soon!
Did you know that KALX receives only a portion of its annual operating budget from the University of California, Berkeley? The rest of the budget, and that includes any hoped-for equipment upgrades, comes from you, our listeners. Projects to improve our station and our air quality of sound depends on your support!
We’ll have brand new designs for this year’s sticker, t-shirt, hoodie thank you gifts but the real thank you is keeping KALX on the air, growing, and thriving. Get ready to give what you can, April 15-24th! No donation is too large or too small! More details coming soon along with an updated link for donating!
You can still go to our 2023 donation link until then if you’d like to support KALX!
