WE DID IT! We exceeded our goal, ending our Spring "One Small Thing, One Big Difference," Membership Drive with about $118K in donations.

BIG, GIANT, HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who donated money, provided matches, and stepped up to support community radio. We love you KVMR Family!

BIG THANKS to the terrific talent and community spirit of KVMR's brave broadcasters, taking to the airwaves to do something really scary—ask listeners to support KVMR. This is no joke, it's hard work. KVMR's mission is not fundraising—it's not about money at all. However, we must fundraise to exist. Membership drives create the possibility of the magical beast of non-commercial radio. When broadcasters and volunteers come together in common effort, we can provide service to everyone with a radio. It’s not hyperbole to say fundraising for KVMR directly makes our community better—more cohesive, safer, stronger, more inclusive, creative and joyful. You did it! We did it together!


Each moment on-air stands on the shoulders of the 47 years on-air that came before. Thanks to everyone who has ever hosted & co-hosted shows, answered phones, donated money, time, food, talent, art, and love. You made this! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hard Country "embroidered" Western Shirt (back)

Just to be totally clearthis is a t-shirt with trompe l'oeil "embroidery" silkscreened on, not a true western shirt. It's like the silkscreened "tuxedo" t-shirts from the 1970s & 80s. It's going to be hells of cool, get it while you can. Designed by local artist Trent Franks.
