They team up with the community to create and distribute programs and other services that inform, entertain and inspire. Their challenge is to provide these programs for public service and not for personal profit. Several times a year KTCA hosts a pledge drive. The March Pledge Drive runs from the 3rd to the 19th. That's necessary because KTCA stays on the air mainly due to the contributions of time and money by individuals, corporations and foundations.
Individual memberships account for more than any other source of revenue.
In addition to monetary contributions, people volunteer their time. While they won't let just anyone run the cameras, they love having people help in other ways. Volunteers can get involved in a variety of services, from staffing phones during pledge drives to providing services as reading tutors. Funds are also gathered from the sale of merchandise. Most of the programs they have produced are available on video.
