Our Appeal to You


KPTZ has come a long way this year, building on past years’ accomplishments and developments with our expanded schedule and public affairs involvement. We continue to grow in number of volunteers, all of whom are dedicated and continually exceeding expectations in community service. And during our recent on-air fundraiser week, you and your neighbors donated a record amount of support to help KPTZ grow.

This momentum is why we are able to stretch our ambition to build a permanent studio location in the new Makers Square project underway at Fort Worden. While reaction to our ambitious transition news has been altogether positive, we recognize that to succeed we need to raise $500,000.

We feel certain this goal is achievable because
KPTZ is a vital asset to our community.
