KUAF's mission is to challenge, entertain, educate, and inform its listeners. It is a vital cultural institution serving a rapidly growing community. In order to remain dynamic and relevant, KUAF has embarked on a capital campaign to raise funds to build a new, state-of the-art facility. Following successful completion of a $1.5 million campaign, KUAF will build its new home at 9 South School Street, next to the Fayetteville Public Library. The new facility will allow KUAF to expand and enhance programming, increase community outreach and ensure that, in the coming decades, KUAF remains dynamic and relevant, and this community’s indispensable connection to the world.
KUAF’s larger, better equipped facility will
- allow the station to strategically expand programming and regional news coverage, and operate three new high definition (HD) radio stations, in addition to its existing FM station;
- enable KUAF to fully realize its potential as a community service; and
- make KUAF "greener," creating a healthy environment, using less energy, reducing operating costs, and leaving a smaller environmental "footprint."
The structure that sits now at the corner of Mountain and South School Streets in Fayetteville will be completely renovated and expanded into a 6,000 square foot "green" facility that will include space for expanded regional and national programming, public events, live performances, and room to grow.
On the Move…with you
KUAF helps make this community more dynamic. It provides the depth that only a quality regional, public radio station can offer. It is there for you, and the rest of our community, every day, with just the push of a button. More and more people are tuning in, and, they want even more of a good thing. This campaign is about providing you and others with just that…more of a good thing.
Please consider a pledge in support of KUAF's expansion and relocation plans. KUAF has enjoyed loyal, steadfast annual support from thousands of people over the last two decades, and now we are asking for support over and above that annual commitment--support that will help KUAF as it is On the Move. Your gift may be in cash, transfer of appreciated stock, or through a payment plan of up to three years.
For information about how you can be "On the Move" with KUAF, please call or email Terry Bumgardner at (479) 575-6858, or tbumgar@uark.edu.
