Corporation for Public Broadcasting ceasing operations

Given that CBP is only 15% of PBS funding, I’m surprised they don’t start a national fundraising campaign instead.

I’d happily donate some cash to keep PBS’s lights on in red states.

Do you subscribe to your local station and have a Passport account? Consider doing that first.

I'm in the SF Bay Area. That's like spraying water at someone that's drowning.

I want a lazy way to send cash and have it go to whichever station needs it to keep the lights on.

Nothing stops any of us from donating to local stations or PBS/NPR directly. Here's a good reference link:

With a quick search online, here's a list of the donation links for the 21 states that are currently listed as "Red" (based on 270toWin.com). It's kind of a Googlish reply.

Some are a little difficult because they're kind of fractured, like Missouri is a St. Louis link, Texas is an Austin link, Tennessee is a Nashville link, so its challenging to tell if your donation is going to the state in general or just the local town PBS. (May want to check specifically if you're targeting a specific market). Most tend to be statewide portals. However, you seem like you want to support PBS, so here's some links.
