DONATE TO KOOP 

For 25 years KOOP 91.7 FM has been training community volunteers in the art of broadcasting so they can share their passions as regards music and public affairs with their neighbors near and far. We are only able to do this with financial support from our listeners. Help KOOP keep community radio alive in Austin!

KOOP has more than 60 unique, locally-produced programs airing every week. Each of these programs is produced by an individual or by a collective of members. Any member of the community can join our organization and apply to produce a radio program — and KOOP provides the facilities and the training. 

Our Mission

KOOP’s mission is to engage, connect and enrich the whole community, including the underserved, through creating diverse, quality, educational music and news programming.

Diversity

We know community radio plays a crucial role in the social justice movement for civil rights, women’s rights, and the rights of the LBGTQIA+ community. Our programs, studio, and our community events aim to be safe spaces for the oppressed in this country, as well as refugees fleeing from oppression abroad. Read our full Diversity Statement.
