Hi John,

I wanted to make sure you saw my email from a few days ago about the financial challenges 2023 has presented for nonprofits like KQED.

We’re so grateful for everyone who has given since that email went out, but we still need your help to finish the year strong. We’re only 10 days away from the end of this year — don’t wait to make your tax-deductible gift now before the December 31 deadline.

The KQED team is always working to help you stay informed, inspired and involved in our community. In addition to radio and TV broadcasts, you can access digital news on KQED.org, listen to podcasts on the go and get curated articles delivered to your email inbox.

When you tune in to your favorite show, you’re joining a conversation that matters to millions. Whether it’s All Things Considered, Morning Edition, PBS NewsHour, Forum or The California Report, you’ll broaden your horizons every time.

Your tax-deductible contribution empowers us to continue serving Northern California. Thank you for making it all possible!

Sincerely,

Michael J. Isip
President & CEO

Dear John,

Only 12 days remain in 2023 and, like many nonprofit organizations, we’re still working to overcome the effects of a challenging fundraising year. Adding to our concerns, December 31, traditionally a pivotal fundraising day for us, falls on a weekend — a time when we typically experience a dip in charitable contributions.

I am so grateful for KQED supporters like you. Will you help ensure we’re able to continue delivering the KQED programs and services you love most? Make a gift today to light the way for a bright future.

I know what we do is worth every penny. Our television, radio, digital media and educational services change lives for the better. Every day we help individuals and communities achieve their full potential.

As we navigate these critical days, your support takes on added significance. Please don’t wait for the weekend — make your tax-deductible year-end gift today! Your contribution of any amount will be instrumental in helping us reach our fundraising goals and make a lasting impact.

Thank you for being an indispensable part of the KQED family. Your support truly makes a difference.

Thank you,

Michael J. Isip
President & CEO

P.S. Make your tax-deductible year-end gift today and join us in shaping a brighter future for KQED and the communities we serve.
