During this Spring’s Drive you have the opportunity to support two great non-profits in Northern Arizona. KNAU is partnering with Lowell Observatory and when you give at certain levels you will become a Gold Circle Member of KNAU AND a Planetary Member of Lowell Observatory.

This Planetary membership will gain you first access to the Giovale Open Deck Observatory set to open late summer/early fall, you will be able to tour and experience the new facility before it opens to the public.
The Gold Membership with KNAU includes a station tour, ceramic KNAU coffee mug and VIP access to any KNAU hosted events.
Support Public Radio and Lowell Observatory now and help us reach our $110,000 goal before April 12th! We can get there early with YOUR help! Thank you.
