Dear Friend, 

As I shared a few days ago, federal funding for PBS News Hour and all of public media is now under serious threat. I’m thrilled to share that our previous match offer yielded an incredible show of support—proof that your friends and neighbors think that journalism with integrity is worth investing in.

The Arthur D. Collins, Jr. Foundation was so inspired by this outpouring of generosity to sustain PBS News Hour that that they’ve stepped up with a NEW 2X match offer: all gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $25,000, through midnight tonight.

We’re setting a new goal: can we reach 400 new donations by our deadline tonight? Please join the incredible community of individuals who are stepping up to ensure the future of independent trusted news—no matter what.

While we’re grateful to have supporters like the Arthur D. Collins, Jr. Foundation in our corner, we’re deeply concerned about the recent threats to federal funding. These cuts would pose a serious risk to our ability to continue delivering  PBS News Hour, directly impacting the resources that power the thoughtful reporting and trusted coverage you depend on every night.

Won’t you please take advantage of this generous matching gift offer, and 2X the imapct of your support? Every donation is a statement that you stand for independent journalism and believe America’s #1 most trusted news is worth protecting.

From thoughtful interviews with world leaders to sharp, balanced political analysis and courageous reporting from global conflict zones, PBS News Hour delivers in-depth coverage of the critical issues shaping our world. And with the Arthur D. Collins, Jr. Foundation’s 2X match in effect through tonight, your impact can have even greater reach.

Help us meet 400 more donations by our midnight deadline and keep PBS News Hour and public media strong. Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Alyson Brokenshire
Senior Director
PBS News Hour Principal and Major Gifts
