KQED

Hi John,

Did you see the message below?

KQED is facing a budget shortfall of more than $1 million. We’re counting on you to help us continue brightening our community with local storytelling that matters.

The KQED team remains committed to our mission of informing, inspiring and involving our neighbors throughout Northern California. Will you give a special year-end gift to support public media in your community?

With KQED, you can trust you’re getting fact-based news coverage and in-depth journalism on the stories that matter. Please help us get a head start on reaching our year-end goal by making a tax-deductible gift today.

Thank you,

Dear John,

Did you know that KQED reaches 2.3 million adults in Northern California each week? It’s an incredible honor to be the station you trust for news and entertainment. Thank you for tuning in! You’re the reason we exist.

We don’t just cover the news, we bring communities together. We report on events from the perspectives of people living through them and elevate voices that would otherwise go unheard.

Our track record as your most trustworthy news source spans decades — since 1954. Given the dark side of profit-driven news today, the need for fact-based, independent reporting is even more critical.

But we need your help. Earlier this year, we reported that KQED’s membership budget had a deficit of more than $2.5 million. We’ve been lucky to see a great outpouring of generosity, but KQED is still facing a shortfall of more than $1 million. Your tax-deductible gift today will light the way to a brighter tomorrow and help us close this gap.

Shine a light on fact-based journalism and make your first gift today!

When you tune in to All Things Considered, Morning Edition, PBS NewsHour, Forum or The California Report, you’re part of a conversation that matters to millions.

Every dollar you give empowers us to continue serving and strengthening our community. Thank you for making it all possible!

With thanks,

Michael J. Isip
President & CEO

P.S. Your commitment to KQED is the reason we’re independent. Help support us by donating before time runs out to make your gift tax-deductible in 2023!
