This is from the Manager’s Desk.
The KGOU revenue budget is a delicate mixture of revenues.
Eighteen percent of KGOU’s cash comes from the University of Oklahoma, and another 10 percent from our annual grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
This fiscal year, just three percent of the revenue comes from a special grant from CPB for Ahead of the Storm: The Oklahoma Tornado Project – a project that ends on September 30.
StateImpact Oklahoma is a project of the public radio stations in Oklahoma, and is headquartered at KGOU. The contracts with our partners will bring in about eight percent of our total budget this year.
That means 60 percent of KGOU’s revenue comes from private donations. A little under half of that is from business donations, and a little over half is from individual members.
When we talk about you being the biggest single source of income for KGOU, that is the truth.
Thank you.
From the Manager’s Desk, I’m Karen Holp.
