Public Media Giving Days • May 1-2, 2026

Public Media Giving Days is May 1-2! 

#PublicMediaGives #PublicMediaGivingDays #PMGD2026 #PublicMediaForward 

 

Public Media Giving Days is a nationwide movement recognizing the transformational impact of public media organizations like PBS Western Reserve — from maintaining a strong foundation of local storytelling to inspiring lifelong learning through educational media and community outreach that goes beyond the screen. 

This year, PBS Western Reserve is celebrating the fourth annual Public Media Giving Days under new circumstances, following the rescission of federal funds and a reduction in state funding in 2025. That’s why we’re asking you to share your support with us online to help spread the word — PBS Western Reserve is not going anywhere, and we’re ready to take #PublicMediaForward to a new chapter.  

 

How can you get involved? 

  • Communicate with your family, friends, neighbors and colleagues about your appreciation for PBS Western Reserve.
  • Take to your social media platform of preference and declare your gratitude for PBS Western Reserve with the hashtags #PublicMediaGives #PublicMediaGivingDays #PMGD2026.
  • Let Public Media Giving Days be the time you make your first financial contribution to PBS Western Reserve;
  • Or if you’re already an annual or sustaining contributor, boost that generosity with an additional gift on May 1 and 2.
