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. |
