GBH Celebrates 75 Years

Since GBH's first broadcast in October 1951, the station has become a trusted leader in public media. Whether you grew up singing the ZOOM zip code, learned to cook with Julia Child, explored space with NOVA, or relied on GBH News or FRONTLINE to know what is happening in the world around you, and so much more, GBH has continued to tell stories that matter.

GBH’s 75th year will feature rolling launches of public experiences, multiplatform content, and community initiatives designed for audiences everywhere. You won't want to miss a thing — sign up for our newsletters to stay in the know.

Power the Next 75 Years of Public Media Storytelling

Supporting GBH with a Facebook Birthday Fundraiser takes five easy steps.

We're the kind of people who celebrate our big birthday all year long — and we're hoping you'll join us! Here's how:

1. Find the prompt
This year on your birthday, look for the birthday fundraiser notification in your feed (usually appearing about two weeks before your birthday), or go to the menu, select Fundraisers, and tap Raise money or Create fundraiser.

2. Choose GBH!
Search for and select WGBH Educational Foundation.

3. Add basic details
Enter a title, a personal description explaining why you love GBH, your fundraising goal amount, and the currency.

4. Set the timeline
Pick an end date for your fundraiser (Facebook often defaults to a couple of weeks)

5. Publish!
Tap Create at the top right to launch your page

    For 75 years, GBH has been where curiosity thrives, truth is defended, and generations unite to learn. As we celebrate our rich legacy and pioneer new models for public media, we invite our community to step into the future with us through interactive stories, immersive events, and groundbreaking discoveries.
