I'm writing with an update: there are just three days left in the July fundraising campaign, and gifts are still needed to reach our goal.
We set fundraising goals to make sure NPR Network journalists and staff have what they need to keep doing this work. We bring people like you who value independent news and programming together with opportunities to be a part of the community that fuels the impact public media has on millions of lives every week.
We can’t do this without you. We need you by our side to build what comes next. Public media is funded by people who collectively decide that our shared world is better with the NPR Network in it. The “public” in public media is essential.
That’s why I’m asking you today: will you make the decision to fuel the NPR Network? When you make a gift of any amount, you create a more informed public. You protect the connective fabric of communities through access to local news. You help turn down the noise and turn up the facts so we can build shared understanding. Your gift is important.
Right now, the NPR Network needs growing support — in the form of gifts of all sizes — to keep journalists on the ground amplifying stories, moving nimbly to cover breaking news, and transforming to reach new audiences in an ever-evolving digital world.
