Why Should I Support KOSU?

These are some of the thank you gifts KOSU is offering this spring.

We need you.

That's as simple and straightforward as we can be: we need you.

Without you, KOSU does not exist. Listeners decide to make a contribution to support KOSU because they know it can’t work any other way. To keep this service strong and independent, it must be powered by the very public it serves.

Thousands of listeners just like you are contributing: friends, neighbors, co-workers. In fact, listener contributions are the single largest source of revenue for KOSU. That’s why your contribution means so much right now.

Please renew your support of KOSU or make your first contribution now. Give online by clicking here or call us at 855-808-5678.

In this era of 'fake news' and commercial news packaged as entertainment, not-for-profit public service journalism matters more than ever. Listener support keeps KOSU independent. Thanks for doing your part.

Reporters for KOSU and NPR break new ground and news every day to bring you the information you need to be an informed citizen in these challenging times. We keep our listeners engaged with the issues that matter in our communities, country, and world. KOSU gives eyes and ears to the people, places, and things you might not experience every day.

If you find yourself starting conversations with, 'I heard on KOSU…' or 'I heard on NPR...,' I hope you’ll consider supporting us.

Listener support serves the foundation for all the everything you hear on KOSU. From reporting on the economic issues our state and our nation face to looking at Oklahoma’s ever growing cultural scene, we’re able to do what we do because listeners step up and become members.

Please donate to KOSU now. Click here to give online or call us at 855-808-5678.
