HOW WE'RE FUNDED
KCSB does not receive any funding from the University of California system. Rather, our funding primarily comes from student lock-in fees. The remainder of our budget is fueled by donations from students and community members like yourself! With the help of your donations, KCSB has been able to proudly serve as a student-run, non-commercial, educational, alternative, and independent station for over 60 years!
HOW YOUR MONEY HELPS
The funding we receive finances our operational expenses, station staff, and special projects year to year. Our operational expenses include transmitter repairs and studio renovations to help improve the quality of our station for our programmers and station staff. This year, KCSB staff returned on-site to resume operations and live events since the COVID-19 pandemic such as our Coco and Clair Clair concert, quarterly orientations, and expanded our training programs to include pre-recorded audio production. We have set up a hybrid schedule featuring live programmers as well as our remote DJs, including KCSB alumni from all over the world! KCSB also has our very own music label: Bank Burner Records, inspired after our historic coverage of the Isla Vista Riots.
Your donations will help us continue playing an active role supporting DIY, independent artists and the Santa Barbara community.
