A huge thanks to everyone who supported KALW's September campaign. When all was said and done, more than 2700 listeners donated over $367,000 to Local Public Radio.

That's 98% of our ambitious goal of $375,000, making this the most successful September campaign ever at KALW. The station is strong and ready to invest for the future, with no more on-air fundraising until next May.

Seventy-five years after a group of San Francisco teachers put KALW on air, this station continues to demonstrate the creative power of non-commercial, community-based media. And listener support is its unshakable foundation!
