The end of a calendar year is a great time to reflect on what we, as a community, have been able to do together. 2024 has been a full and vibrant year for CKUA. With donor support, we have:
– offered true musical diversity through original, authentic daily programming
– made important upgrades to the essential technology that delivers CKUA to listeners around the province and around the world
– played thousands of songs by local, emerging, and independent musicians
– shared hundreds of interviews with artists, musicians, and key people in the arts and culture scene
– connected with artists and music fans at live events and festivals
The original, thoughtfully curated radio our hosts produce is free to listen to, but not to create, broadcast, or stream. CKUA makes it happen, and listeners who donate make it possible. Financial support from listeners is essential for CKUA to continue its work. Here are some great ways to support CKUA before December 31.
Make a year-end donation. It’s easy to do at CKUA.com or by tapping the app. Donate before December 31 and you’ll receive a tax receipt for this year.
Start a monthly donation. Ongoing support is particularly impactful for CKUA. Because you value what you hear, begin a monthly gift today.
Donate an hour of programming. Whether it’s for your own enjoyment or as a gift for a loved one who doesn’t need another sweater, a donated hour is special. You can choose a favourite program and connect with the host to share musical memories and suggestions.
Consider a gift of stocks and securities. When you donate your publicly listed securities to the CKUA Radio Foundation, any capital gains are tax-exempt, and you’ll receive a donation receipt for the full market value.
Support CKUA’s winter 50/50 raffle. Tickets make a great stocking stuffer. Or, if you buy them for yourself, you could hold the winning ticket and help pay those holiday bills! All our past raffles have had six-figure payouts, and our last winner took home more than $150,000.
There’s still time to donate in 2024. Thank you to all who give. We appreciate you!
