Hi John,

There’s something magical about the words “I heard it on KQED.” Whether you’re dazzling your friends with the fact that a gecko’s grip strength could lift a human being or spreading the word about an important issue facing our community, there’s a source of pride in being a KQED listener, viewer and reader. And we’re equally proud to be the organization you trust to keep you informed, inspired and involved in your community.

John, you rely on KQED as an independent source for information and entertainment. Can we rely on you to help us meet our goal of 150 new monthly sustaining donors?

With news and stories from local reporters, KQED tunes you into your community. We strive to bring you the cultures, voices and perspectives that make Northern California unique. KQED features the journalism, entertainment and community dialogue we all crave.

Your generous support is critical this summer. Your gift will help us continue to elevate new voices, share diverse experiences and connect our community through public media. We’re looking for 150 proud members — just like you — to become monthly sustaining donors by July 31. It’s an ambitious goal, but we know we can reach it with your help.

Thank you for your support of KQED. I hope you’ll consider becoming a KQED member with a monthly gift today!
