Our Crowdfunding Groups
Our crowdfunding campaign has ended but you can still support UCLA Radio by clicking here.
Thank you so much for your donation to UCLA Radio’s 2019 fundraising drive! Whether you’re a radio alumnus, parent of a UCLA Radio DJ, student-media aficionado, or any other member of our community, it’s people like you who make our station and content possible.
After nearly five years — due to the COVID-19 pandemic and changes internally to the organization — we are excited to bring back our Winter fundraising drive. Our station is long overdue for maintenance and upgrades in nearly every capacity, including our cameras, microphones, turntables, and carpets.
Despite challenges to the organization during COVID and the following years, we are now over 150 members strong, maintaining our 24/7 stream and 125 weekly programs, and getting even deeper into L.A.’s music scene through our events, concert reviews, partnerships with other LA organizations, and online blog.
I would be so grateful if you could take a look at our active fundraiser, which is running between January 17th and February 16th, and consider making a gift. We’re aiming to raise $7,500, which would greatly transform our daily operations and content production — you can see a breakdown of this budget on our fundraiser’s home page.
Your gift to UCLA Radio this year, during our first fundraiser in five years, would have an immediate and long-lasting impact on our station. Any amount will help amplify Bruins in broadcasting and is completely tax deductible.
Thanks so much for your consideration, and Happy New Year!
Lucas Chen
Fundraising Manager, UCLA Radio
