Ways to Give at KAMU:
Although most
people associate giving to “Pledge Drives” at KAMU, there are many ways you can
help to keep KAMU strong.
Matching Gifts:
A Matching Gift can come from a
company or an individual to
help kick off or boost a pledge drive.
The matching gift is usually announced as an incentive for others to donate during a certain period of
time. The person or company offering the
matching gift will then give KAMU an amount “matching” that given during the mentioned times. Sometimes the matching amount can be a
percentage of the total or even more than the total- depending on the matching
donor.
Challenge
Grants:
A challenge grant is usually an
incentive for a certain number of pledges to come in during a particular timeframe. The challenge grant donor will challenge the audience
to call in during a program or to meet a certain goal by offering an amount to
be given to the station, if the challenge is met.
Underwriting:
Underwriting is Public Broadcastings
Advertising. A company will donate money
to KAMU in exchange for its name and information to be heard on-air. KAMU does not
allow qualitative or quantitative statements during an underwriting spot and
adheres to all FCC guidelines regarding public broadcasting sponsorship. Underwriting is a great way for a business or
organization to support KAMU while getting its information to the public.
Planned Giving:
Planned Giving is a way to ensure
that KAMU continues for the next
generation. A planned gift is as simple
as including KAMU in your will.
