#GivingNewsDay is ON!

Hello John!
I’m Mina Kim, host of Forum. If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past few years, it’s the value of bringing people together to discuss the issues that matter to them. My colleagues and I are proud to partner with members of our community like you who believe in this power.
For almost 70 years, KQED has reported on the news and stories that are important to those in our region. Because of the significant role public media plays in our Northern California communities, a group of anonymous donors is offering to enhance our legacy and impact. Today only, when you become a KQED member, they will match your donation, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000!
On Forum, we get to talk with so many local residents, and I’ve noticed that we all have at least one thing in common: a desire to connect and learn in community. When we air stories and conversations on Forum, our goal is to showcase different perspectives so we can all understand each other a little better.

Every week, we explore important topics and spark compelling conversations. Each show strengthens our community in helping us learn more about our neighbors’ perspectives. We don’t know what challenges the future will bring, so it’s important that we work to ensure that public programs like Forum will continue to bring people together and remain accessible to all.
Help us keep telling stories that inspire, inform and involve everyone in the Bay Area. Whether you become a sustaining member or make a one-time gift, please give generously today and your support will be doubled!

P.S. The $50,000 match ends at midnight, so don’t wait: Have your gift doubled now!
