A Note from the President and CEO | August 2025

At WTVP we are keeping our eyes on the future, taking courage, and forging a way forward to new horizons. Every check, every additional gift, every encouraging note and letter is the wind in our sails as we navigate the new waters of operating our station without the support of federal funding.
This is an exciting season for us, and we are thrilled to announce the WE BELIEVE in WTVP campaign. Thanks to a generous donor, every dollar that you give that is above and beyond last year’s gift to WTVP will be matched “dollar for dollar” up to $300,000! If you believe in WTVP, will you consider doubling your donation to the station to help us leverage this incredible matching gift opportunity? Thank you for meeting us at this moment!
And speaking of moments, we have four moments each year when we pause our regular programming to focus on bringing in new members to support the station. Our August Membership Drive runs the first week of the month and is filled with delightful and truly special programming designed to bring in new members to the WTVP family.
And we need new members to strengthen our future! Truly, there is no better time to join. If you know someone who enjoys our programs, please consider encouraging them to become a member. New member giving will also be eligible for the WE BELIEVE in WTVP gift matching opportunity. Wouldn’t it be incredible to see 200 new members join during our August Drive? It’s possible. I believe in WTVP!
With gratitude,
The station you love is not going anywhere! But with historic federal funding gone, we are looking to the community to join us in the WE BELIEVE in WTVP campaign to fuel a strong future. When you increase your giving, become a member for the first time, or double your donation, your gift will be matched – up to $300,000! Thank you for helping us close the gap and keep our station strong!
