Sure, sitting ringside with a giant foam finger is fun, but public radio isn’t a spectator sport! We need you out of the bleachers and into our corner. So, grab a towel, squirt some water in our face, and let’s get to work! We are the fighting team, but we are missing our most crucial hype person: you. Stop watching from the sidelines and get in the game by donating at KNPR.org.

Pitcher 2

Sustaining members are the backbone of our newsroom. By giving a little automatically each month, you provide the predictable income we need to plan for the future. Now that we cannot rely on federal funds, your $10 monthly gift or a one-time donation of $100 provides true financial stability. It takes just two minutes to set up. Do it now at KNPR.org, or call 702-258-0505.

Pitcher 1

Support us with 150 dollars and we’ll send you the official Nevada Public Radio tote bag. It’s the perfect companion for the farmer’s market, the library, or just looking smarter than everyone else in the checkout line. Plus, you’ll enjoy all our member perks and event invites. Grab the bag at KNPR.org.

Pitcher 2

Nobody wants a three-week pledge drive, not us, and definitely not you. To avoid “pledge drive overtime,” we have to raise $10,000 every 24 hours. It’s a high-speed chase to our $125,000 finish line, and we need your momentum right now to stay on pace. Avoid the overtime and keep the music playing. Make your move with a $60 or $100 gift at KNPR.org.

Pitcher 1

The internet is designed to be entirely frictionless, you just keep scrolling and scrolling without thinking. Public radio creates intentional friction. We make you pause. We challenge your assumptions and make you consider a completely different angle. Embracing that friction is how you reclaim your independence. Stop scrolling and start supporting. Donate right now at KNPR.org.

Pitcher 1

We are building a new future for Nevada Public Radio—one that is entirely powered by our listeners. The loss of federal funding is a challenge, but it’s also an opportunity to prove that your community values independent news. We want to be here for you and for the next generation. Help us build that future. Start a $30 or $50 monthly gift today and ensure Nevada Public Radio remains a pillar of our community for years to come. Donate today at KNPR.org or call 702-258-0505.

Pitcher 2

If you look at the accounting ledgers for most media companies, you’ll see a lot of massive corporate advertisers. If you look at ours, you just see your neighbors. Keep our ledger fiercely independent. Stand with us by making a $100 one-time gift or a $10 monthly donation. Call 702-258-0505 to get on the books.

Pitcher 1

Public radio doesn’t run on sneaky algorithms, corporate overlords, or billionaires with rocket ships. It runs on you. We need your support to keep bringing you in-depth journalism, great conversations, and a little bit of culture. The news never takes a nap, and neither do we, but we definitely can’t do it without you. Become a member today at KNPR.org.

Pitcher 2

You can’t fix a city if you don’t actually know how it works. Ignorance only serves the status quo, never the people in the neighborhoods. Nevada Public Radio hands you the blueprint to your own community. We decode the policies so you can hold the decision-makers accountable. Arm yourself with the facts. Make your pledge at KNPR.org.

Pitcher 1

With our federal funding eliminated, it’s entirely up to this community to keep Nevada Public Radio strong. Here is what we are asking you to do: take a stand for local journalism right now with a $30 or $50 monthly gift. Or, make a $250 one-time donation. Whatever you choose, you are ensuring your community stays informed. Give right now at KNPR.org, or call 702-258-0505.

It’s easy to feel disconnected these days. Nevada Public Radio works to bridge that divide through civil dialogue and balanced reporting. We provide a space where different perspectives are heard and respected. This is a vital service, but it is no longer supported by federal tax dollars. Invest in a more connected community. Your one-time donation of $100 ensures Nevada Public Radio remains a unifying force. Donate at KNPR.org or call 702-258-0505.

Pitcher 1

True authority belongs to the people, but keeping it requires a press that refuses to bend the knee to politicians or billionaires. Your financial support keeps our reporters fiercely independent and completely unbought. When the powerful try to silence the questions, we turn the microphones up. Put your gloves on and fund the resistance with a $20 or $50 monthly gift. Call 702-258-0505.

Pitcher 2

You know that intense pre-match staredown where the fighters just glare at each other? That’s exactly how our reporters look at complicated local issues. We don’t blink! We are the fighting team that stares down the confusion and delivers the straight facts to your community. But that kind of focus takes your financial backing. Show your support for fearless (and unblinking) reporting right now at KNPR.org.

Pitcher 1

The temperature is rising, and so is the pressure to hit our daily quota. We need to raise $10,000 before the sun goes down to stay on track for our $125,000 total. If we beat the heat today, we’re one step closer to a two-week finish. Keep us cool and keep the news coming. Donate $50 a month right now at KNPR.org.

In 2026, stepping out the door without knowing the facts is like walking into a storm without an umbrella. Fact-based journalism is your rain jacket. When you fund Nevada Public Radio, you aren’t just protecting yourself, you are buying armor for everyone in Nevada who can’t afford a subscription. Shield the truth. Step up today at KNPR.org.

Pitcher 2

How does public radio stay free of paywalls and subscriptions? It’s not magic, it’s you! But if everyone assumes the person in the car next to them is donating, our newsroom goes quiet. We need you to step up to keep fearless, independent journalism accessible to your whole community. Make your pledge now at KNPR.org.

Pitcher 1

We are fighting to keep independent, trustworthy journalism alive and well for your community. The loss of federal funding means we need your direct financial support today.

Algorithms feed you what you already believe, but Nevada Public Radio challenges you to see the whole picture. We don’t rely on clickbait; we rely on context.

Your $20 monthly gift or $250 one-time donation breaks the echo chamber and keeps real journalism alive. Give at KNPR.org or call 702-258-0505.

Did you know independent journalism is pulling a disappearing act? And unfortunately, it’s not a fun magic trick. Stories that don’t rely on clickbait are vanishing.
