LIVESustaining Members
Join our growing neighborhood of over 2000 sustainers who believe in KTWU PBS’s mission to provide programs and services that enrich the lives of community members in Eastern Kansas and surrounding areas. If you are already a sustainer, learn more about how switching your method of donation to EFT can help both KTWU and you!
Show your ongoing commitment to public media with an automated monthly donation through your checking account or credit card. You are also welcome to donate monthly via check, money order or cash. Your monthly gifts will continue until you tell us to stop.
If your yearly donations total over $96, you will receive exclusive access to stream PBS Passport content on the PBS app, our monthly program guide and our monthly email newsletter. Donating $500 or more unlocks Producers’ Club benefits, including an invitation to a station event and dedicated station liaison.
Donations via sustainer plans can be broken down into smaller monthly payments to help make supporting KTWU easier on your family budget. Sustainer plans that enable you to receive our streaming service PBS Passport start as low as $8 a month for the year.
We encourage you to consider giving through EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) directly from your bank account. EFT is the most secure payment method and costs KTWU nothing in processing fees, meaning more of your gift goes directly toward the programs you love.
Over the past 12 months, KTWU has paid more than $24,000 in credit card processing fees on donations. For example, if you give $8 a month, your annual gift totals $96, and more than 7% of that amount could be lost to credit card processing fees. By choosing EFT, every dollar of your donation stays with KTWU to support the programming and services you value.
