Donate Your Vehicle To KPFT

man and car looking concerned

Why Donate your car, motorcycle, boat or RV to KPFT?
– You don’t want to worry about selling your vehicle.
– It’s too expensive to repair your vehicle.
– You don’t trust your car to be safe on the road.
– You need a tax write-off.
But the most crucial reason is that your donation will enable KPFT to keep delivering the information, talk, and music that you value and enjoy.
To donate your vehicle to KPFT, call 1-855-KPFT-CAR (1-855-573-8227).

Savor the same brew that KPFT programmers do, provided by Lola Savannah, which has been keeping KPFT well-caffeinated for years now. And enjoy it with the mug inspired by KPFT’s newish digs on Caroline St.

As an added bonus, if you make a sustainer pledge of $20 per month or more, we’ll throw in the coffee and mug as a bonus, over and above any other thank you gifts you might choose. If any questions, email member@kpft.org and we’ll be happy to help.

Backpacks at 5th Ward Head Start

During our recent Summer Sizzle, KPFT partnered with 5th Ward Head Start to donate backpacks to them for the start of school. For every $1,000 pledged during that drive , KPFT donated a backpack with school supplies, socks & underwear to the program. So far the station has distributed 34 of these.

KPFT staff visited 5th Ward Head Start on August 28, and here’s a video of the incredibly cute kids receiving their backpacks.




KPFT is adding Sustaining Members every day. Will you be one of them?

Sustainers are people who donate monthly to the station until they tell the station to stop it. There are currently about 700 sustainers at KPFT donating at many different monthly levels. Their support has gotten the station thru some hard times. If you join their number and if we can get that number closer to 1,000 the station will be on much more firm footing and also will have the option of shortening the fund drives and also decreasing their number.

This May Membership Drive has moved 85 people to become sustaining members at various levels and 28 of these people are getting Memory Brick. You can Donate Buttonat whatever level you desire, and we encourage you to turn your donation into a sustainer pledge. $5 a month, $10 a month or whatever level you are comfortable with.

Memory Brick sample inscribedAnd if you sign up for a $25 per month donation you can get the 4″x8″ brick (a sample is pictured here) or $50 per month for a 8″x8″ brick. You get to inscribe the brick you choose with any inscription you want and your brick will be laid in the front plaza at KPFT this summer.

So donate what you can to keep the station going. If you’re in a position to become a sustainer please do that at whatever level you’re comfortable at. And if you’re comfortable with a $25 per month or more donation, get yourself a Memory Brick and let the station feature your generosity in physical form.
