Tacoma’s beloved public radio station KNKX has received a remarkable $1 million gift, according to a report from Inside Radio. The donation marks a significant milestone for the station and its mission to serve listeners throughout the South Sound and Pacific Northwest.

KNKX has long been a cornerstone of the Tacoma community, delivering jazz, news, and public affairs programming to a loyal and growing audience. A gift of this magnitude provides the station with meaningful resources to continue and expand that work for years to come.

For a community-supported public radio station, a single $1 million contribution is an extraordinary vote of confidence — a sign that listeners and supporters deeply value what KNKX brings to the airwaves and to the region. Such philanthropic investments help ensure that independent, locally focused journalism and music programming remain accessible to everyone in the Tacoma area, regardless of their ability to pay.

It’s a heartening reminder that when a community institution earns the trust and affection of its audience, that support can show up in powerful ways. Congratulations to the entire KNKX team on this exciting news.
