IRS990/Desc0The KSER Foundation delivers non-commercial radio programming to listeners in Snohomish and Island counties, as well as the surrounding areas via two radio stations 89.9 KXIR-FM and 90.7 KSER-FM. A paid staff of 4 and over 100 volunteers operate both stations and provide local news and information, national and world news, arts, and cultural programing 24 hours a day and 365 days per year.

The same programing is heard on both stations. KSER is the only independent public radio station in Snohomish County. We work diligently to be good stewards of our donors support and promote the value of community service.
