Fund the Future Campaign

A message from GBH President and CEO, Susan Goldberg


The role of GBH and the mission of public media have never been more relevant or more important.

The First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of the press are under attack. The end of federal funding is causing the closure of stations and loss of coverage all over the country.

That is why GBH is launching the Fund the Future Campaign. Through this campaign, we intend to confront the challenges that threaten the very freedoms upon which we were founded 75 years ago. Through the campaign we will:

· Support and protect independent fact-based journalism
· Provide free pre-K educational content for kids
· Ensure availability of essential online resources for teachers and educators
· Cover the issues that matter from history and culture to science and the environment
· Maintain the programs that you love for the next generation to enjoy
· Continue our leading role in supporting music and the arts

To do this, GBH will complete our evolution from 20th century broadcaster to 21st century digital powerhouse, broadening our impact, reaching more people than ever, and emerging stronger, proudly independent, and more capable of meeting the needs of the public we serve.

But we can’t do it alone. If you value what we do—the programs we make, the services we provide, the news that you rely on—please help us through this transition. With your help our work will continue, without any government or shareholder influence.

Please help fund the future of public media.
