Hi John,
I’ve written many times to ask for your support of KQED. Today, the day before New Year’s Eve, I’m asking again for you to join KQED as a member.
As we face further economic uncertainty from the pandemic, we anticipate corporate sponsorships will remain lower than in previous years and some loyal members will have to pause or reduce their contributions to public media. Please, if you have the ability, become a member today and help us make up for these shortfalls in 2021.
For many of our neighbors, KQED is a lifeline—literally and figuratively.
This year as wildfires raged across Northern California, people tuned in to KQED to find out whether it was safe to stay in their own homes and what to pack in a go-bag in case they needed to flee. We continue to hear from people working in healthcare who listen to stay informed on the front lines of the pandemic.
KQED has also been a lifeline of understanding and sanity. Shows like PBS NewsHour and Amanpour & Company navigated the 2020 election cycle with critical perspectives. While MASTERPIECE dramas became a welcome respite for those of us who were staying safer at home for much of this year.
Throughout the challenges of the past year, one thing has remained constant: our community has always been there for one another. If you’re able, I hope you can stand by KQED and make a gift today.
Thank you for your support.
Sincerely,
Michael Isip
President and CEO
P.S. Remember, the deadline to make a tax-deductible gift for 2020 is midnight, December 31. As you’re reading this, you have less than 36 hours to make your gift. Please join now. |
