Corporate Membership
Join KCRW’s Corporate Circle
Support what matters — and invest in your workplace culture.
KCRW’s Corporate Circle brings together mission-aligned businesses that believe in the power of independent media, cultural connection, and creative expression.
Your company helps sustain the trusted programming and vibrant community events that make KCRW a cultural cornerstone in Los Angeles and beyond. You'll gain visibility through on-air mentions, while your employees enjoy meaningful benefits that foster engagement, creativity, and connection.
In a high-turnover, hybrid era, employees are seeking more than perks — they’re looking for purpose, belonging, and connection.
Joining KCRW’s Corporate Circle is more than a tax-deductible donation; it's an investment in cultural wellbeing, helping your team tap into the soul of Los Angeles through music, storytelling, and community. The kind that sparks creativity, reduces burnout, and reminds people why they love where they live — and who they work for.
