Public media is under threat — will you support KQED?

Dear John,
Public media is facing a crisis. Amid calls to eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which supports KQED and other public media stations across the country, Congress is considering the future of public media. If that funding is eliminated, it will be a devastating blow to the trusted journalism, educational programming and public safety services you rely on from KQED, NPR, PBS and all the other member stations that make up our network.
Please donate now to strengthen KQED and public media during these uncertain times.
KQED’s local, nonprofit journalism is a critical resource for our communities. Since we’re not beholden to shareholders but to you, our journalists can focus on facts instead of clicks. We hold those in power accountable and inform our communities without threat of influence. But all of this is only possible because of the generous support of individuals like you.
What’s at risk if this funding is cut?

KQED belongs to you — not to advertisers or corporations. Your support ensures we can continue reporting the news with integrity, delivering fact-based journalism and providing educational resources for everyone in our communities.
If public media matters to you, now is the time to act. Your donation today will help KQED maintain the services you rely on in this time of turmoil.
Thank you for standing with us at this critical moment and helping us remain strong.
