CKUT Funding Drive 2026
Intergalactic Radio
April 9-19, 2026 - GOAL $55 000
Help Keep Community Radio on the Air
Every day, CKUT 90.3 FM broadcasts voices, music and stories that you won’t hear anywhere else.
From local artists and independent journalists to grassroots organizers and community storytellers, CKUT exists to amplify the voices that commercial media often overlooks, or leaves out altogether.
Our signal travels across Montreal – and far beyond – connecting people, cultures, languages, and ideas. But unlike commercial stations, CKUT is powered by its listeners. Once a year, we ask the community that makes this station possible, to keep it going.
From April 9-19, 2026, we’re launching our annual Funding Drive - and this year we’re broadcasting under the banner of Intergalactic Radio. A transmission far beyond borders, genres, and galaxies.
We need your help to keep the signal beaming across the world and into outer space.
Every donation of $35+ automatically enters you into our prize draws for some awesome gifts from our Montreal wide sponsors, check out ckut.ca/funding/ for a full list of both our prizes and our sponsors!

For nearly four decades, CKUT has been a space where artists, journalists, activists, students and neighbours come together to create radio that reflects the communities we’re part of.
Each week:
