KPLU's Leadership Circle

Leadership Circle


What is the Leadership Circle?

When you pledge a gift to KPLU of $1,000 or more you become a member of our Leadership Circle. Leadership Circle members are a special group of listeners who inspire us to not only reach our goals of quality programming, but to strive for excellence in every aspect of the service we provide. In return you will receive opportunities to meet public radio personalities, nationally known figures, local station talent and management as well as invitations to exclusive VIP events.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I support KPLU?

More than half of our funding comes from individual listeners like you. Your generous donation is the very reason that our station is able to remain on the air and produce high-quality programs.

Your gifts can be paid at all at once or in a series of installments. By giving a gift of as low as $83 per month, you can still become a member of our Leadership Circle.
