One of our most popular features. Yeah, it's poetry, but this isn't about Bambi in the meadow by a babbling brook ... it's totally up in your grill. Confrontational, emotional, powerful, and boy, does it ever make you think. This is GREAT stuff.

A note to KFMG listeners and supporters:

It would appear that the national economic troubles have finally caught up with KFMG. Our results from this year’s Fall Pledge Drive were significantly lower than either of the past two years. Since we know we have more listeners, we can only assume that the difficult economy is a major factor.

So we’re going to continue our Fall Pledge Drive (in a somewhat more low-key manner) for the foreseeable future. We’ve adjusted some of the contribution levels for the premiums provided to KFMG by our supporters in the business and non-profit communities—there are some real “bargains” there, especially considering that all of the money contributed directly supports Your Community Voice – KFMG 99.1 FM.

You may contribute via the link to Red Truck Tickets, on this page. They are donating their services, so all of your contribution will go to KFMG. You may also send your contribution directly to KFMG at:

KFMG
PO Box 41143
Des Moines, IA 50311

Or you may give us a call at the radio station at 515-244-4145 (leave a message with a good time for us to call you back, if you reach voice mail instead of a living human being).

If you make a donation via the website please send a separate email through the “contact us” link on the website with your premium request, if you wish to have a premium. If you are mailing us your contribution, please also include your premium selection (if any) with your donation.

We thank you VERY MUCH for your support of KFMG. We know that things are tough out there, and we appreciate anything you are able to share to help support Your Community Voice - 99.1 KFMG-LP.
