Dear John,

California Public Radio Day is almost over, and we haven’t heard from you yet!

Keeping local news and entertainment accessible and available for all to enjoy is a great responsibility, and we’re counting on you to step up and make a donation today in support of all the great local radio stations you rely on year-round.

Plus, time is running out to get this year’s window cling and tote bag designed by California artist Radha Vishnubhotla. Donate now and we’ll thank you with this limited edition design!

We also have a special opportunity for you to join our September radio drive member match pool. Check the box on the donation form and your donation today will contribute to the matching challenge pool and will help inspire your neighbors to donate to KQED next month!

Join thousands of Californians today and show your support for local radio. We can’t do it without your partnership!

Sincerely,

Michael J. Isip
President & CEO

Dear John,

Today, you’re witnessing radio history in the state of California — the third-ever California Public Radio Day — and we need your help to make it a success!

California's public radio stations are a trusted daily source for community-focused inspiration and fact-checked news, a means of discovering your next favorite artist and a cultural hub for you and millions of other listeners across our state.

Public radio is free to all because listeners like you choose to support it. We hope you’ll join together with your fellow Californians to help boost this critical service and share your love for independent, nonprofit radio.

Please take a moment today to support KQED by donating on California Public Radio Day.

When you donate, you’ll also have a special opportunity to contribute to our September radio drive matching challenge pool. What’s a challenge pool? It’s a group of funds from members that will match donors’ contributions to KQED. All you have to do is check the box on the donation form and your donation will automatically contribute to this pool and will help increase member support next month!

As a thank you for your donation, we’ll also send you special, limited-edition window cling featuring a great new design by California artist Radha Vishnubhotla showcasing our state bear, flower and iconic landscapes. And with your monthly gift of $10 or more, you can pick up this original design on a custom California Public Radio Day tote bag!

Thank you for supporting the future of public radio in California.
