GBH Beacon Circle

Become a Beacon for Public Media

An annual gift of $2,400 or more places you at the heart of GBH’s mission—supporting trusted journalism, powerful storytelling, and award-winning programming that informs, inspires, and connects us all.

As a Beacon Circle patron, you’ll join a community of GBH’s most generous supporters and enjoy:

• Exclusive access to GBH events and behind-the-scenes experiences
• Meaningful connections with public media leaders, producers, and filmmakers
• Invitations to arts and culture gatherings curated for our closest patrons with our closest regional institutional partners

Your investment powers the future of independent media and strengthens the community we serve.

Join us—and help light the way forward.

Fund the Future

For almost a century, GBH has been a trusted source for journalism, education, and storytelling. In a rapidly changing world, our mission to inform, inspire, and empower is more vital than ever. Now, without federal funding, GBH remains proudly independent — free from shareholder influence and committed to public service. To meet this moment, we’re launching the Fund the Future Campaign to safeguard public media values and drive our digital transformation. We’re expanding our reach, deepening our impact, and building a stronger GBH.

But we can’t do it alone. If you value our programs, services, and trusted news, please support us. With your help, our work will continue—independent and uncompromised.

Ways you can help: 

• Double your annual support for the next three years to help GBH transition to a more innovative, sustainable business model
• Make a multi-year commitment of $10,000 or more a year. Declaring your gift now will strengthen GBH’s foundation to forge a new path forward. You will also be recognized for your total giving over the entire campaign.
• Connect with our Gift Planning and Endowment team and consider a planned gift that ensures GBH is here for the next generation.
• Share GBH with your friends and family and help us grow our membership
