The station provides in-depth news, public affairs and cultural programming for listeners in Montana and Northern Wyoming. KEMC is funded in part by a grant through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Friends of Public Radio, Inc. (Friends) is a non-profit entity incorporated in Montana and Wyoming, which raises funds to provide financial and other support in the name of and with the approval of KEMC. MSU Billings prepares separate annual financial statements to reflect the combined financial activity of KEMC and Friends of Public Radio. Amounts shown in the financial statements for KEMC have been extracted from University funds and include the financial activity of Friends. In addition, a Corporation for Public Broadcasting Certification Schedule of Nonfederal Financial Support (NFFS) as required by CPB is also prepared annually. The accounting records for KEMC are maintained principally on the Ellucian Banner system. Because the amounts, timing, and purpose of the funds transferred to KEMC by Friends is controlled by the Friends board of directors, those accounting records are maintained separately at KEMC and are not recognized in Banner until such transfers are made.

MSUB Campus Report 3/2020
CAMPUS REPORT | Board of Regents Meeting | March 5-6, 2020 | Dillon MONTANA STATE UNIVERSITY BILLINGS • MSU Billings looks to 2020 as the year of new student opportunities. Partnership agreements are underway with University of North Texas Health Science Center to create new research and internship opportunities for MSUB students. The agreement would also designate MSUB as an official site for the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System, a national DNA registry to help identify missing individuals; this would also greatly assist in identifying the missing and murdered indigenous women in Montana and surrounding states. • MSU Billings Athletics named finalist for Division II Award of Excellence. The accolade recognizes initiatives in the past year that exemplifies Division II philosophy, community engagement, and student-athlete leadership. The Yellowjackets submitted a bid for the award after hosting the Pack-the-House Elementary Day on November 18, 2019, which brought over 600 elementary school students to campus to cheer on the Lady Yellowjacket basketball team to victory. • Two MSU Billings students were awarded civic engagement scholarships. Students Danny Lynn Eder and Willow Peterson were awarded George M. Dennison Civic Engagement Scholarships. Eder volunteers his time tutoring students in electrical, welding, and math. Peterson serves as the president of MSUB HEROES, which works to increase awareness and communication within the academic community regarding health-related matters for students. • Renowned trumpeter Dontae Winslow headlines MSUB Jazz Festival. Trumpeter and hip-hop artist Dontae Winslow has performed alongside Justin Timberlake, Dr. Dre, and other notable musicians. He headlined the MSUB Jazz Festival and shared the stage with statewide high school and middle school student jazz ensembles.

Partner Newsrooms Raise Nearly $1M in Local Philanthropy
Partner newsrooms Raise nearly $1M in local philanthropy Lessons from Report for America’s 2019 efforts to help local newsrooms with long-term sustainability February 2020 I Executive summary Heading into 2020, there is great optimism that local philanthropy is awakening to the need to support community journalism. As part of its model, Report for America, an initiative of the GroundTruth Project, asks its host newsrooms to experiment with local sustainability by fundraising from the community to support the salary of their corps member. The program works hand-in- hand with local newsrooms to help them with the task. We can now report the results for 2019: Report for America’s 52 local newsroom partners leveraged their investment from our national service program to raise more than $800,000 through more than 1,150 donations — quadruple our goal. In all, 75 percent of the newsrooms raised money to support their Report for America corps member. This total includes a number of for-profit entities with little experience engaging with community philanthropy. Approximately 47 percent of the 2019 Report for America newsrooms are for-profit entities; 53 percent are nonprofits. Some public radio stations and other news organizations also raised community funding toward Report for America corps member salaries as a part of their standard, annual fundraising campaigns. With those donations included, Report for America’s local newsrooms raised nearly $1 million to support the journalists in 2019. Among the lessons we can now draw from our 2019 experience: • Local news organizations can raise meaningful philanthropic dollars • Journalists themselves can be a newsroom’s best revenue catalysts • Good journalism itself is a fundraising tool • Many potential donors still don’t know just how much local news is struggling, but when they learn it, many respond This paper will also offer some case studies which provide potential models for other newsrooms.

Telling Public Radio's Story
50 year old Montana State University Community radio station, KGLT, has over 85 announcers on air every two weeks. KGLT can be compared to a manageable community model, and a successful one at that. The variety of people, their similarities and dissimilarities, beliefs, ages spanning three generations, individual tastes in music -- all have joined forces, honed their talents, taken apprentice classes offered by the station, recognize their interdependence, and consequently share music and the love of music with the audience. What better example can community and college radio or any team set than to be an example of working together to make the whole, better and better. When community members join forces to achieve goals, the same results happen. Success happens because of teamwork. Each individual remains unique, but coming together, we achieve incredible goals. KGLT takes great pride in being a conduit for the community, spreading information about services offered by thousands of non-profit organizations throughout Montana that empower people and make their lives richer on many levels. Like any healthy community, the community that is KGLT excels in its ability to be honest and ethical. KGLT is non-political. The needs of community go deep and KGLT makes a sincere effort to not only entertain and educate by sharing many genres and generations of music, but by sharing the information that enriches everyone’s lives and intellects with about 1,800 public service announcements (PSA’S) per year. PSA’s respond to rudimentary needs like paying electric bills, help on health care, learning opportunities for students, seniors, sight challenged, enriching courses for dads, art and acting classes for kids, confidential support for mental and emotional barriers, support for victims, veterans, sports, classes in public speaking.
