KHOI Community Radio thanks all of the individuals and local businesses that helped make the station’s first-ever on-air pledge drive a success.
Nearing the Goal
The inaugural pledge drive took place on Friday, February 15. Spurred on by an anonymous $25,000 donation received earlier in the week, volunteers took to the airwaves and raised an additional $3,000 during the daylong pledge drive.
This brings the radio station within $7,500 of raising the total funds needed to build recording facilities in the station’s headquarters in the Pantorium building.
The KHOI Board of Directors would like to thank the many local businesses that donated items for use as donor premiums during the pledge drive. A list of these contributors appears on the pledge drive page of this website.
A number of the pledge drive premiums are still available for people who would like to donate. A list of remaining gifts (and donation levels) can be found on the pledge drive page.
Two Campaigns: Many ways to continue giving
KHOI currently has two funding objectives. One is to raise the additional $7,500 to build the studio.
The second goal is to fund our day-to-day operations. This campaign is called ‘500 Families’ because it was determined by our Board of Directors that it would take 500 families, donating $250 each to cover an entire year’s operating budget.
As you may know, KHOI is a non-profit, all-volunteer community radio station, funded entirely by listeners like you. Whether it’s a single donation or an on-going monthly gift; however you choose to donate and in whatever amount, your contribution will be greatly appreciated and you will become a ‘KHOI Family’.
For either of these current campaigns, you can demonstrate your financial support for KHOI radio through our website (PaylPal, credit or debit cards), by pressing the ‘DONATE’ button.
You are welcome to drop into the station at 410 Douglas Avenue in Ames at any time from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the weekdays. We are always happy to see you and take you on a tour of the facilities.
Or, you can send us a check or money order to:
