Hear us talking about Amplifiers a lot?

Curious about what being an Amplifier means?
 

We invite you to learn more about this special way to support KEXP! To put it simply, Amplifier donors choose to support KEXP with an ongoing monthly gift - ranging anywhere from $6 to $84 a month (the most common choice is $10 a month). But, the impact of this choice is FAR from simple. By choosing to break down their donation into an ongoing monthly gift, Amplifiers provide reliable, stable support that allows KEXP to plan further into the future - getting creative (some say wacky) with our programming while remaining human-driven and responsive to our community.

If you’ve jammed along to International Clash Day, attended an in-studio performance, watched your favorite artist on our YouTube channel, or learned something new from a KEXP podcast - you can thank Amplifiers for that! While we appreciate every donation to KEXP, the ongoing, reliable monthly support of Amplifier donors has had a special impact helping big dreams for great music experiences flourish into realities at KEXP. 

 

Feeling inspired? It takes just a moment to become an Amplifier:
 

  1. Go to KEXP.ORG/Donate and select “Become an Amplifier” as your donation type. Select the amount that you’d like to give monthly.
     

  2. If you choose to give $10 a month or more, you will be eligible to select a special thank you gift! Explore and admire (ooh, ahh!) the awesome thank you gifts we have for donors.
     

  3. Fill out your contact and payment information to process your donation.
     

  4. Give yourself a high five and revel in the good feeling of becoming an Amplifier donor!!

Once you become an Amplifier, your donation will power KEXP in amazing ways each month. If you give $10 a month or more, you’ll continue to have the option to choose new thank you gifts each year to rep the station you love! And, if your circumstances change, you can contact us anytime to cancel, decrease, or increase your monthly gift. 

The last step? Smile the next time you hear us talking about how much we love Amplifiers, because that means we’re talking about you! 

 

Read on for comments from other Amplifiers about why they support KEXP in this special way:
 

I wanted to support the station and help ensure it stays on the air. There's no other radio station or streaming service that serves up such a wide variety of music within each show.

At the time I was kind of adrift musically, and when I came across KEXP the first time I felt that wonderful spirit of discovery awakened in me again.  And then it was the sense of community that brought me back every day. Love it.

I wanted to support a great thing.

It’s important to me to support the things that are meaningful in my life. KEXP is one of those things.

KEXP very quickly became a really important part of my life at a time when I needed it the most - for community, music discovery, and positive vibes. KEXP felt like a community I wanted to be a part of and becoming an Amplifier felt like a good way of expressing that.”

“I felt I was getting more value from KEXP than other things I was paying more for.

We love KEXP and loved the idea of our gift helping out every month instead of just a lump sum once a year.

 “I've always supported non profits and I love public radio and what KEXP is about.  Once we could afford it, it became a no-brainer.  I have been listening to KEXP for decades, though I no longer live in Seattle.”  

“I really believe in this world of algorithms that it matters to have music curated by the people who live here. As I became more and more able to contribute - it just made sense to give for those who can not but find your station a lifeline as part of the community.”
