In KWBU’s 25-year history, we've faced challenges—and our biggest came when we lost our sister Public Television Station in 2010. Now, Waco Public Radio will face the same fate if community support does not increase by 1,500 members by the end of this calendar year.
This is not optional—it has been mandated by the board. We must demonstrate that KWBU can withstand these major blows to its operating budget and prove that the station can remain sustainable through the strength of our community.
Your support is what will determine whether KWBU continues serving Waco for the next 25 years—or closes its doors.

Every new member counts.
Every lapsed member rejoining counts.
Every current member giving an additional gift counts.
