KQED

John,

I didn’t want you to miss this: our annual September fundraising drive ends at midnight tonight.

If you’ve donated already, thank you. Your commitment to public media is what allows us to deliver news with integrity.

Sadly, we know that finding trustworthy and dependable news coverage can feel futile — but support from members ensures that KQED can continue to keep our region informed with fact-based reporting for months and years to come.

If you’ve held off on giving until now, I urge you to consider giving and becoming a part of the solution. I hope we can count on you to become a member.

Sincerely,

Bud Gundy
Executive Producer of On-Air Fundraising and Proud Monthly Sustainer

In the past month alone, you’ve turned to KQED for reporting on homelessness and affordable housing, wildfire season and inflation’s impact on our communities. These issues deserve deep, fact-based analysis — the kind you can only get from public media.

Over 100 reporters, editors and producers work together to bring you our award-winning content. In recent months, KQED staff have been nominated for 13 Northern California Emmy^® Awards — one for our big hit about tiny creatures, Deep Look, and another for our docuseries If Cities Could Dance.

But we can’t do it alone. Almost 60% of our funding comes from individual donors. Member support makes critical news accessible for our whole region!

Our September drive ends at midnight. And if you donate $20/month or more today, you’re eligible for a special KQED hoodie.
