KCLU receives $1,000,000 donation

According to the KCLU website, a Westlake Village couple gave the non-profit station a $1,000,000 gift “to support and enhance its news coverage by establishing a news endowment.”

The KCLU website said the KCLU station is parented by California Lutheran University and was created as a community service for the Central and South Coasts.

The gift came from Linda and Dennis Fenton who have been station members since the station first aired in 1994. The KCLU website states the Fentons “have been active in the philanthropic community for decades.”

Linda Fenton is on the station’s advisory board.

Any one wanting to donate to this endowment can contact the KCLU General Manager Mary Olson at [email protected]
