Federal funding for public media has been clawed back.

Katherine Maher
President and CEO, NPR

On Friday, Congress passed a rescission bill to claw back federal funding for public media.

This harms the millions of Americans across the country who rely on public media.

We will fight to restore federal funding. In the meantime, your donation is more critical now than it has ever been.

Eliminating federal funding for public media means fewer reporters covering local stories, fewer journalists holding power to account, and fewer stories that connect us despite our differences.

But here’s what will never change: our commitment to you — and our mission to keep people informed and connected.

NPR and public media exist to serve the American people. To bring you rigorous journalism, without fear or favor. To tell stories that reflect the depth and diversity of our country. To connect communities, in moments of crisis and joy.

Congress alone does not determine our future. Public media has long been powered by the people it serves — not by shareholders or special interests — but by people like you and me. People who believe that everyone should have access to trustworthy, independent news and programming.

Now is the moment to join our community of supporters.

You turn to public media because you value the reporting and courageous storytelling you hear. So I’m asking you to act now. Not just for yourself, but for the millions who benefit from a trusted resource, a reliable companion, and a civic cornerstone.

Your donation — especially a recurring, monthly gift — will make an immediate difference.
