Give STL Day is this Thursday!
Donate Now ([link removed])
On GiveSTLday, we hope you will consider supporting the dedicated non-profits in our region in some capacity. Obviously, we think our work in education, journalism, arts and culture here at HEC Media ([link removed]) is pretty impactful, but we also recognize that many other organizations are doing important work in our community and also need your valuable support.
We work hard to be an important community partner, and part of our vibrant arts and culture landscape in St. Louis. When COVID-19 threatened our arts and culture organizations, who rely on patrons for most of their income, we proudly announced a groundbreaking new initiative to keep our arts and cultural organizations engaged with their patrons, funders, supporters, and the broader community.
“Virtual Performances” is a complete professional broadcast created by our multiple Emmy and international award-winning team (multiple cameras, fully mixed audio, graphics, announcer/host), delivered to the audience via the web, social media, cable television, and over-the-air television.
When the shut-down kept children from school, Educate.Today ([link removed]) (our sister education side) brought even more virtual field trips, educational programming and lesson plans to parents and kids to make sure our students can stay engaged with their studies.
And we’ve continued our Emmy-winning journalism, bringing you the stories of vaccine researchers, medical students who produced more than 1,600 face shields in three days, nonprofits getting creative, author interviews, how COVID-19 is impacting animals and the zoo, and so much more.
Our stories help artists, organizations, startups and educators seek funding, gain exposure, make connections, earn grants, learn about our governing bodies' plans and educate our children. We tell St. Louis' story here and present it to the wider world.
We also have our documentaries and several recent heartwarming stories up for you to stream free and chase away the COVID-19 blues. And lastly, we’re curating the best in virtual activities from your favorite St. Louis institutions and organizations.
HEC Media is your community broadcaster and we are proud to be part of the community and doing our part to make our community a better place, but all of our services are expensive and we’re a small non-profit, so we’re asking you to help us out.
Please consider supporting HEC Media's mission to strengthen our community and shine a light on the best of St. Louis - both locally and nationally.
We're a small crew of media professionals dedicated to telling the stories about the best of St. Louis. We seek out the true stories of people making a difference in our community: the stories of artists, educators, entrepreneurs and thinkers. We connect the community with its institutions, companies, government and nonprofits. Our stories help artists, organizations, startups and educators and more seek funding, gain exposure, make connections, earn grants, learn about our governing bodies' plans and educate our children. They tell St. Louis' story here and present it to the wider world.
Since 2014, Give STL Day, powered by St. Louis Community Foundation, has raised more than $7.5 million for the region's nonprofits that do so much for our community. Let’s do it again. And please include HEC your effort.
However, if making a gift doesn't make sense for you today, please:
1. Share this message with anyone in your network that you believe would be interested in supporting the work HEC Media is doing for our community, and the many worthy nonprofits participating in GiveSTLday
2. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for updates on our new programming and initiatives.
Thank you very much for your support and for helping us continue to support St. Louis!
