Did you know that nearly 60% of our operating budget comes from individual donors like you or that it takes $95,000 a day to keep KCET on the air and online? While network television belongs primarily to advertisers, KCET belongs solely to you. You are key in helping us create programming and interactive content that introduces people to new ideas, promotes healthy lifestyles, stimulates dialogue, celebrates individual accomplishments, raises awareness of vital issues and connects individuals to valuable resources throughout Southern and Central California.
