"Each donation will help us meet the matches that have been offered, and every donation of $25 or more, or a monthly subscription of $5 or more, makes the donor eligible for a T-shirt or tote bag with the distinctive GMCR/KURU logo. We encourage listeners who have never donated to give to the station now and join our family of members. We also ask current members to consider a special donation, and to invite their friends to enjoy our programs and donate to keep the station bringing our unique blend of musical entertainment, culture, news, and commentary flowing out to Grant County and beyond."
