Hi John,

Every day at KQED I see firsthand how our teams come together to bring you the best in public media. We work hard to shine a light on stories that matter to you and to produce entertainment that will help you engage more deeply with the world around you.

I’m grateful to have good news to share with you in these final days of 2023!

An anonymous donor has challenged us to raise $20,000 before midnight tonight. And to sweeten the pot, they’ve promised to match your contribution dollar-for-dollar.

Whether you call in to Forum, excitedly plan your next night out with episodes of Check, Please! Bay Area, go to KQED.org daily to learn about the latest cultural events or have your car radio permanently tuned to 88.5 FM, our members are the reason KQED exists.

Every gift goes a long way toward bringing you the accurate information and enriching entertainment you count on.

And today you have a chance to double your impact. During this one-day-only opportunity, your tax-deductible donation will be doubled!

It takes all of us to fund the shows, interviews, news and podcasts you enjoy. I urge you to continue your generosity now when it will go twice as far.

P.S. Don’t forget, your gift is tax-deductible and will be doubled when you give before midnight.
