Monthly Giving

Monthly giving provides an easy way to support CKUA! By donating monthly you decide how much you can afford to donate each month, it is 100% up to you! Our Fund Development Office takes care of the rest. It is our ultimate goal to have 11,000 monthly subscribers by the end of 2011 to help us sustain not only the main operation of CKUA, but assist with upgrades and repairs, new programming, streamlining of operations and much more. Monthly giving allows for better budgeting on our part which means that your donation will go further.

Monthly donations can be made using direct debit, or credit card.

Donate an Hour of Programming

Donated hours make terrific birthday, Christmas, anniversary, or special gifts for friends, family or even yourself! An hour of programming is a great opportunity to show your support of quality radio and honour your loved ones with a unique gift that you can be sure they don't already have. Treat someone you love, yourself included, to an hour of programming on CKUA!

You can also donate an hour of programming in memory of a loved one who has passed as a thoughtful way to share their memory with others and help them continue to contribute to a world of music.

Legacy Giving Programs


CKUA Endowment

Are you interested in ensuring that the music plays well into the future? CKUA has created an endowment fund that, once mature, will allow us to draw resources as they are needed. By supporting the endowment with gifts you will help CKUA plan for the future. Consider a gift to the endowment as a unique way to recognize anniversaries and other special events for your friends and family members.

Endowment gifts help stabilize funding for CKUA because they are invested, not part of the daily operating funds. A percentage of the investment income may be used annually to fund new and current initiatives while the balance of the investment income is rolled over to protect the fund against inflation. This is the real gift of endowment: with this balanced approach, over a single lifetime, an investment of $50,000 today could result in future annual support for CKUA of over $900,000! Your gift keeps on giving, and growing well into the future.

Bequests

You can ensure that the support you have always given to CKUA will continue by leaving a legacy gift of a bequest in your personal Will. Bequests are the most popular method of legacy giving and is as easy as adding a bequest clause to your Will.
