The goal is in sight! Support Local Public Radio at 800-525-9917!

The strength of public radio comes from the grassroots:  From listener support, and local stations willing to take risks to create something new.  At KALW, that means distinctive a local mix of local, national and global programming -- plus an innovation we all appreciate: The no-interruption membership campaign.

KALW's Fall Membership Campaign began with a goal of $325,000.  Now, thanks to one listener at a time giving their generous support, we're down to just $1,000 to go. If you've helped us get this far -- THANK YOU.

And if you've been waiting to do your part, now is the time to  contribute to KALW and keep creative, non-commercial radio strong.  You can CLICK HERE TO DONATE NOW or talk to a fellow listener at 800-525-9917.  

And for a contribution of $75 or more, we have a unique thank you gift: The "Architecture Alphabet" poster -- created by Stephen Wildish for 99% Invisible, and signed by Roman Mars. 

Matt Martin was KALW’s general manager from 2006 through 2018. Under his leadership, KALW grew into one of the most productive and innovative stations in public radio. Programs launched at KALW during Matt’s tenure as GM include the award-winning local newsmagazine Crosscurrents, the design podcast 99% Invisible, and the Spanish-language narrative journalism program Radio Ambulante. He helped create the station’s Audio Academy, a year-long program aimed at developing new talents in public radio, and led the first broad-based strategic planning process in the station’s history.
