Call or click to support community radio and another nonprofit up to good trouble for everyone

Thank you to everyone who donated during the Challenge Match for Good with Utah Queer Film Festival and RadioACTive tonight. The link is still live if you missed it and want to help the nonprofit boost its microgrant.

For every dollar raised on this link — https://shorturl.at/egN3V - Utah Queer Film Festival earns an equal amount of in-kind on-air messaging to support its programming over the next 12 months.

As you may know, public radio and nonprofits are facing threats from actions in Congress, as well as state lawmakers here at home. But you can help two nonprofits with one click during our Summer Drive. Be sure to leave a message so we can thank you on the air!

It's your support that keeps Listeners' Community Radio of Utah, KRCL 90.9FM, spinning!
