KGOU General Manager - Karen Holp

From the Manager’s Desk:

Last week I outlined KGOU’s expenses for Fiscal Year 2011, so this week – an overview of our funding needs. Remember, our cash expense budget is $1,030,000, so we need that much income.

For FY 2011, KGOU’s three sources of funding are the University of Oklahoma, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and private donations from listeners and businesses.

This year, about 22 percent of our cash funding will come from the University of Oklahoma, and 13 percent from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. These two sources of income have each decreased slightly from last fiscal year.

That means the categories of membership and underwriting must do all the rest – about 64 percent of KGOU’s cash operating budget. This year, we need to raise about $30,000 more than last year.

We’ll set the goal for the fall membership drive later, but in the meantime, be thinking about how you can help KGOU Radio this fiscal year.

Thanks!
