| Campaign 21: For You, with You and by You | | |
| | Right now at 2601 Mariposa Street, we're beginning to wire the recording booths, install desks for the newsroom and fine-tune the lighting and audio in The Commons. With so little time left to go before we begin broadcasting from our rebuilt headquarters, we’re reflecting on all the partners who have helped us realize our goal to expand our team of journalists and modernize our newsroom for the 21st century.
Whether you helped us start planning for major changes back in 2017 or only recently gave your first gift to the campaign, you’re an integral part of KQED’s success. Anne Etgen and Greg Kieber are one couple who not only gave a recent gift to the campaign, but are also members of the Signal Society, Legacy Society and long-time pledge volunteers. Learn about why they give and what they love about KQED. | | |
