CKUT Funding Drive 2025: Booming & Blooming 🌸📡
In May 2025, we held our biggest and boldest Funding Drive yet. Under the theme “Booming & Blooming,” we celebrated everything CKUT has been and all that it’s becoming—loud, joyful, rooted, and rising.
Together with our community, we raised over $55,000 to keep CKUT alive and thriving. We heard from supporters across the world, received love notes in the mail, and hosted unforgettable events with the people who make this station what it is.
We’re so grateful to everyone who donated, volunteered, came to an event, or helped spread the word. CKUT doesn’t exist without you.
Get your 2025 donations in by May 30th to be considered for our Funding Drive Prize Draws!Â
