Partners and Funders

KDNA has produced thousands of hours of informational, educational and cultural radio programming over the past 30 years in partnership with many friends. Small businesses, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and educational institutions have partnered with KDNA to ensure the dissemination of vital information to their clients and have offered financial support to the station. KDNA remains the primary source of information to the low-income, farm worker and Spanish-speaking communities of Central Washington.

Since her arrival almost a year ago, Executive Director Maria Fernandez has managed to alienate KDNA friends and partners, damaging the reputation of KDNA/NCEC, jeopardizing its financial security, and ultimately neagtively affecting the lives and livelihoods of its community of listeners.
