KWSO radio will be holding their first ever pledge drive the week of the Solar Eclipse, August 15-22. The public radio sta- tion, owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes, has been on the air for more than 30 years, serving the reser- vation community and surrounding areas. The War m Springs tribes have long sup- ported the local media outlet, and in 2004 KWSO became part of the Corporation for Pub- lic Broadcasting Commu- nity Service Grant pro- gram, which now funds close to 50 percent of the station’s operations annu- ally. “We have always been so fortunate to have bud- get support, so we never ventured into some of the typical fundraising mod- els of mainstream public radio entities” says KWSO station manager Sue Matters. “But now with our tribal funding reduced, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in jeopardy at the federal level, it’s time for us to press harder on bringing in new revenue streams.” The KWSO Solar Eclipse Pledge Drive will include on air and online appeals to purchase a KWSO membership. For a membership there is a one-time annual fee of $35. You can also choose a sustaining mem- bership, and give a spe- cific amount of money monthly, having it auto- matically drawn from your bank account or credit card. The August pledge drive will be a chance for the community, as well as visitors to Central Or- egon, to show their appre- ciation and support for Warm Springs Commu- nity Radio.
