Support the Public Media Bridge Fund

Your gift helps secure essential public media service in communities across the country—especially in rural and underserved areas where the risks are greatest. Every contribution strengthens a nationwide system that keeps people informed, connected, and safe.

Why Your Support Matters

Local public media is facing an unprecedented crisis. With Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) eliminated, up to 115 stations serving 43 million Americans are at risk of deep cuts or closure. Your support helps keep trusted journalism, emergency communication, and educational programming available to the communities that rely on them.
