What Las Vegas Public Radio Inc does
Mission
Restoring and resetting our Travel & Tourism station on KIOF 90.1 FM at 48,000 Watts in 2024. This restoration and going back to the organization's roots prior to COVID-19 using what worked with KIOF-LP 97.9 FM in the market as a jobs creator in southern Nevada is the key during this restoration from transitions of KIOF-LP 97.9 FM/KVGK-LP 97.9 FM and KQQY 90.1 FM/KJPT 90.1 FM at FCC Facility ID 190166 in North Las Vegas, Nevada continuing as of December 31, 2023.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2023 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
The State of Nevada Department of Education "silenced and blocked" thousands upon thousands of southern Nevada residents with access to the airwaves on KIOF-LP 97.9 FM since October 2022 (and millions of tri-state potential listeners with access to the airwaves on the transition stations of KVGK-LP 97.9 FM and KJPT 90.1 FM by the end of 2023, also both non-commercial FM radio stations and the reasoning behind LVPR's TAPCU project). The organization went back to get it's $95,200 Emergency Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) funds our deceased Vice President had assisted with on returning to the U.S. Small Business Administration in June 2020 in good faith because that's what U.S. Navy (Honnorably Discharged) Veterans do if they were believing regulatory changes were coming down the pike that would not lead to government tax payer dependency to operate. Those funds were found to be also needed due to the massive loss of clients to keep KIOF-LP 97.9 FM on the air and serving the Las Vegas, Nevada valley with Emergency Alert System (EAS) services but were also denied by the U.S. Small Business Administration in October 2022. Numerous Congressional inquiries into these matters were opened by Las Vegas Public Radio in 2023 which included our organization's tax returns being submitted to the 118th Congress for use in the Weaponization of Government Committee. The organization also notified Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo on July 12, 2023 with some solutions as well as a meeting with Nevada…
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Re-defining public radio by taking KIOF-LP 97.9 FM off the air on September 4, 2022 and placing it into a Temporary Application for Provisional Commercial Uses TAPCU project at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) starting on December 15, 2022 shortly after the Las Vegas Public Radio Vice President passed away, a wrongful death that many suspect over KIOF-LP 97.9 FM. This is due to a failed regulatory system that works for select organizations built on layers of socialism and communism since 1967 identified on American soil as seen on Pages 201 and 202 of the Telecommunications Act of 1934 in the following section: SEC. 393. 47 U.S.C. 393 CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL AND EXPENDITURES BY SECRETARY OF COMMERCE. c Of the sums appropriated pursuant to section 391 for any fiscal year, a substantial amount shall be available for the expansion and development of noncommercial radio broadcast station facilities. On May 12, 2023, the FCC issued the nation's very first Low Power FM commercial license/permit under KVGK-LP 97.9 FM at FCC Facility ID 190166 by apparently waivering and overriding several federal statutes and federal laws dating back to 1934 using KVGK-LP 97.9 FM as a model…

The program described on its FY2023 Form 990. Program spending in total: $2,678.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $1.4M to $1.4M (−1%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
100% of Las Vegas Public Radio Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (78% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Las Vegas Public Radio Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Las Vegas Public Radio Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of Las Vegas Public Radio Inc's grant income comes from Nevada funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $16 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
