[grc] Does KBOO survive on one fund drive a year?

[Per Fagereng]

You can go to the KBOO website, click on About, then go down to KBOO Policies and click on Underwriting.
Underwriting messages are limited. We don’t accept weapons makers, investing in repressive governments,
discrimination. Our underwriters are local small businesses and announcements of cultural events. As far
as I know, we haven’t slipped down that slope.

I just heard something else interesting on KBOO, a thank you for underwriting to Gazelle Natural Fiber Clothing (sp?), which I assume to be a local store there. 

This kind of local, politically correct underwriting has often been discussed but never implemented at KPFA.  The fear, I believe, is that it would be a slippery slope.  I'm curious about KBOO's process for deciding what are acceptable underwriters.

  I wish it were so. KBOO has two major fund drives, plus one or two
  short ones. Our winter drive is Feb 8-15.

  I'm listening to a KBOO-Portland interview with Jeffrey St. Clair, re his
  book "Bernie and the Sandernistas: Field Notes from a Failed Revolution,"
  which they're giving away during their fund drive.  I heard them say "Keep
  KBOO going for another year."

  Does that mean that KBOO survives on one fund drive a year?
