Transmitter Emergency Fund

Our Signal Is Failing. We Need Your Help.

KPFK’s Mt. Wilson transmitter is the heart of our broadcast signal — and it's breaking down.

Listeners across Southern California are already hearing the effects: static, dropouts, or silence.
If the transmitter fails completely, KPFK goes dark for much of the region.

We’re raising $25,000 for urgent repairs. A generous supporter is matching all donations,
but only as they come in. Your contribution could be doubled.
