Build With Us: Creating Connection Through Community Radio

In today’s fragmented media landscape, where local newsrooms are shrinking and corporate voices dominate, our community needs a space to tell its own stories more than ever. KVRU 105.7 FM is that space – a powerful platform where Southeast Seattle’s voices come together, where neighbors connect with neighbors, and where our community’s stories are told in our own words.

From broadcasting critical emergency information during natural disasters to sharing the music of local artists, from training young broadcasters to providing news in the languages our neighbors speak, we are building KVRU to be a vital thread in our community’s fabric. When the power goes out or disaster strikes, we’ll be here with crucial updates. When youth need career pathways, we’ll provide hands-on media training. When local musicians, DJs and artists need a platform, our microphones will be open.

But we can’t do this work alone. As we enter this new chapter, we need your support to strengthen KVRU’s foundation and expand our impact. Your contribution – whether through donation or volunteership – directly supports the technology, training, and programming that will keep our community informed, connected, and resilient.

Every dollar you donate will help purchase essential equipment, maintain our emergency alert systems, and support multilingual programming. Every hour you volunteer will bring new perspectives to our airwaves, help train the next generation of broadcasters, and strengthen our community connections.

This is more than supporting a radio station – it’s an investment in our community’s voice and future. In a world where authentic local media becomes rarer each day, KVRU stands as a beacon of community-driven broadcasting. We’re building something special here: a truly independent, community-owned platform that serves everyone in our beautiful community.

Now is the time to secure KVRU’s future. Whether you can contribute financially, share your time and talents, or both – your support ensures that our community’s stories continue to be told, our neighbors stay informed and connected, and our young people have opportunities to learn and grow in media.

Join us. Help build a stronger, more connected Southeast Seattle. Together, we can ensure our community’s voices remain strong, clear, and heard.
