Why PBS North Carolina Values Your Support


I am incredibly grateful for the generous support and loyal membership of our 90,000 donors this past year. Thank you to each and every donor, member and viewer for making 2021 a remarkable year for PBS North Carolina!
Together, we create PBS North Carolina, a mission-based organization aiming to light up every screen with compelling content created for diverse audiences. We are a community reaching over 14 million people across North Carolina and in areas of Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. PBS North Carolina is an education powerhouse providing extensive virtual resources for teachers and safe, positive, learning-based programs for children.
PBS North Carolina is possible because of people like you. We value your support because you make this work happen. Every day, your donated dollars are put to work – reaching more people, telling more stories, and inspiring wonder and curiosity across our communities. Let me tell you more:
As a PBS North Carolina member, your contributions provide the steady funds needed to create and share inspiring, educational and entertaining programs. With your membership, PBS NC can air Masterpiece and more PBS productions, keep current with PBS NewsHour and Black Issues Forum, create local North Carolina-based shows, take us on explorations around the world, and provide positive programs for our children.
PBS North Carolina members who donate a minimum of $60/year or $5/month receive access to PBS NC Passport, providing extended access to your favorite PBS shows & films.

The additional donations received through our on-air pledge drives, annual fund challenges and Grow Together campaigns help support PBS North Carolina’s efforts to reach more communities. These efforts expand infrastructure and network access, connect teachers with virtual resources, build innovative technology and mobile apps, and continue North Carolina’s safety network of emergency response and urgent weather updates.
PBS North Carolina provides livestreams for all Emergency Management & Weather news conferences, including regular updates from the Coronavirus Task Force. Follow us on Facebook for livestream alerts.

As we move into the New Year, I want to thank you for your continued support of PBS North Carolina and your thoughtful contributions in 2021. It was a remarkable year, made possible by you.
Cheers to 2022!
Susan Scott
Chief Growth Officer
