Petaluma Community Media takes pride in providing access to media with no strings attached. Our members create the content they want to create and we share it all with you, without charging or putting up paywalls.
To uphold this promise, we rely on community support. Your contributions, big and small, play a key role in ensuring we can offer tools and training to anybody who wants to create radio, podcasts, videos, and more.
There are two great options for supporting Petaluma Community Media:
Make a Charitable Gift
Donations are a fantastic way of keeping community media alive and thriving in Petaluma. When you donate, the full value of your gift goes towards the operation of our media platforms – that is to say media training for local youth, buying video equipment for members to use, and keeping KPCA-FM 103.3 on the air during emergency weather events.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, your donation to Petaluma Community Media is also tax deductible under U.S. tax regulations. Our non-profit ID number is 68-0377078.
There are several ways to give:
Mail a check to P.O. Box 2806, Petaluma, CA 94953 or drop it off in-person at 205 Keller St, #102, Petaluma, CA 94952. The Check should be made out to “Petaluma Community Access” (our former name).
We also accept gifts via Donor Advised Fund. If you have any questions or need additional information, please reach out to [email protected].
Underwrite our Media
Underwriting is how local businesses and organizations support Petaluma Community Media while earning recognition across our channels. Petaluma Community Media doesn't sell advertising, so underwriters receive acknowledgements that describe their business rather than promote it. These messages run on KPCA 103.3 FM, Petaluma.TV, our Petaluma Podcasts, our newsletter, and social media, reaching a broadcast area of 70,000 people plus thousands more online each month.
Underwriters get steady, low-effort visibility and the credibility that comes with supporting noncommercial media. Your name appears alongside programming made by your friends and neighbors instead of between algorithm-served ads, and once you sign on, we handle everything.
Tiers start at $300 for a three-month commitment.
