On Tuesday, President Donald Trump sent a request to Congress to rescind federal funding for public media. This is a grave threat. 

Right now, we are asking all our supporters to contact their elected officials and encourage them to preserve this critical funding. 

Cascade PBS is at risk of losing approximately $3.6 million in federal support annually. While much of our funding comes from community contributions, including individual donations, foundation grants and local underwriting, a shortfall of this magnitude presents a serious challenge. 

Public media funding represents just .01% of the federal budget. Cutting public media funding would have little impact on the federal deficit but would devastate our ability to serve our communities. 

Your support in this pivotal time is incredibly important. Here are a few ways you can make a difference: 

I hope we can count on your continued support and that you will make your voice heard.
