Pledge Drive Lite Continues

We are about 73% to our Fall Fundraising Goal of $180,000 with only one week to go! This goal is not arbitrary and goes directly into funding the programs you rely on. We will not make the remaining $48,000 without your help right now —   contribute online atKNAU.org and show us that the “silent” model of non-interruptive fundraising is a sustainable one.

If you are a sustaining members please consider increasing your monthly giving, that increase also counts towards our pledge drive goal. Send an email to our membership department or feel free to give us a call at 928-523-5628.
