In partnership with Greater Public, NPR and PBS, CDP is proud to present the second annual Public Media Giving Days (PMGD)! With your station’s participation — whether you got involved last year or not — the public media system can continue to forge this two-day tradition for stations to acquire donors, raise revenue and deepen local engagement. 

PMGD 2024 aims to build on the success of last year's inaugural event and to help stations surpass the stats you see above. We’re excited about this year’s PMGD event and hope you get caught up in the excitement, fun and fundraising success, too.

When Do We Celebrate Public Media Giving Days?

WEDNESDAY

5/1

Day 1: Donate

As you know, people power your station. In PMGD’s first phase, take your case for support to the people! Plan to email your member and prospect files, leverage your station’s social media presence, and consider on-air messaging. Encourage your fans and donors alike to shine their PMGD generosity on an even brighter future for their hometown station. 

THURSDAY

Day 2: Advocate

Ask people to share their reasons for, if not passions about, investing their time and support into the programs and services your station provides. Suggest they talk about why they value your station in their own social media posts, emails, texts or even one-on-one conversations. Through any of these means, your donors’ authentic endorsements will usher in continued contributions as well as spread the word about the importance of your mission as only the people who most value it can.
