KNSJ Founders

Founders of KNSJ 89.1 FM and the San Diego Community Radio Project

Monthly recurring donations

We appreciate your interest in supporting this non-profit project. Even though we are run by unpaid volunteers, we still have real costs each month, like rent, utilities, licensing, and insurance. This page is for setting up a recurring monthly donation. To instead make a one-time donation, please go to our general support page.

This is a listener-supported station run by unpaid volunteers. To stay on the air, each year we need to raise $30,000 to cover the unavoidable operations expenses (rent, utilities, insurance, licensing, hosting). Your donations are tax deductible. (KNSJ is a project of Activist San Diego, a 501(c)(3) non-profit.) Thanks for your support!
