Support KBAQ

Challenge Grants

 

You Lead, Others Follow

Benefits

Challenge grants are a great way to support KBAQ and motivate other listeners to step forward to do so also. When you designate your single gift of $250 or greater to be used as an on-air challenge, then other listeners are inspired to help us make the goal of the challenge.

See a list of Corporate Challenge Grant Partners.

A few facts about challenges:

  • Number of pledges or dollar goal for a challenge is determined by the Program Director to maximize the station's fundraising abilities.
  • Challenges are issued to individual listener members for individual pledges, not to corporations or special interests.
  • Challenge messages are spoken live and thus may vary.
