Giving Circles
Giving Circles provide a way for KNKX to recognize the remarkable commitment of listeners who choose to invest in the present and future of public radio in the Northwest. KNKX is truly a community effort, with Leadership and Partner Circle member support composing a significant portion of our overall annual budget. At the same time, Lifetime Listener Society members ensure the legacy of KNKX can live on. This generosity – from listeners like you - is essential to KNKX’s editorial independence and our ability to continue serving you with the very best that jazz, blues and NPR journalism have to offer.
