KFAI 90.3FM

Being in community asks something of all of us: attention, care, choice, and the often-invisible effort of staying soft, and human, when the world feels sharp.

The refuge we create together doesn’t happen by accident. It lives in the small, everyday ways we look out for one another — celebrating each other’s art, lives, and stories, and making space to listen.

At KFAI, we meet through music, art, and story. Sometimes we leave with a new way of seeing each other. Fear is met with curiosity here. Isolation softens into connection. With you, this place feels like home — something steady and grounding, a break from the noise, and a reminder that we’re here together. You and I are KFAI.

There’s no single way to be part of this community. You might listen every day, tune in when you need something unexpected, share a show with a friend, volunteer when you can, or simply carry this station with you as a familiar, trusted voice.

KFAI exists because listeners choose to support it.

If KFAI has been a steady presence in your life, please make a gift today and help keep this shared space and refuge for our community alive for all who need it.

Who is KFAI?

KFAI is a registered 501(c)(3) noncommercial educational radio station in Minneapolis, broadcasting across the Twin Cities metro.

Since 1978, KFAI has been known for eclectic entertainment and public affairs programming — on the air 24/7/365. Our broadcast features 89 programs in ten languages (Amharic, Dari, English, Filipino, French, Oromo, Somali, Spanish, Tigrinya, and Vietnamese), with 84 produced and delivered locally in-house.

People of color, LGBTQIA+ community members, and neighbors with intersectional identities lead more than half of the shows on our schedule. KFAI is a community connecting point for immigrants, refugees, and new Minnesotans — and one of the most culturally and generationally diverse hybrid (analog + digital) media outlets in the Midwest.

Why support KFAI? 

As Minnesotans, we’re known for investing in the fabric of our community, large and small. Beyond the broadcast, KFAI supports community building by developing, hosting, presenting, and sponsoring arts, entertainment, educational, and cultural events both in-studio and across the Twin Cities.

Because our programming authentically represents the people of the Twin Cities — including immigrants and refugees from East Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and beyond — we’re a trusted voice in community wellness, connecting the public with issues such as education, health equity, social justice, and more. Your support not only sustains what we do today but helps us strengthen our work together for the future.

Do you love what you hear and want to give more than just financial support?

Share your skills and help map KFAI's strategic and financial goals to meet our mission at all levels of the organization, from governance to ground-level community engagement. See to it that we honor our commitment to amplifying the voices, music, stories, and perspectives of our community's most marginalized people, including people within the imperial/colonial and trade diasporas and the LGBTQIA and Two-Spirit communities.
