Monthly sustainer, one-time, stock transfer, or a line in your will, it all goes to the same newsroom.
Ways to Give
Sustaining
Reader
You open Abridged before you open anything else. You've forwarded a story to someone this month, whether it was about your own block or a town over. A sustaining gift keeps that habit alive across the whole region, not just for you, and it's the most reliable way to fund local reporting because it doesn't disappear at the end of a campaign.
Become a Sustainer starting at $10/month.
Leadership
Giving
You know accountability journalism is expensive to do right and rare to find done well, whether the meeting is in Sacramento City Hall or a small-town council chamber. A leadership gift is what keeps a reporter in the room when a decision that affects your community gets made behind closed doors.
Join the Leadership Giving Society with an annual gift of $1,200 or more, or $100/month.
Legacy
Giving
Some of the people who will matter most to our region's future haven't written a check. They've written a plan. Through PBS KVIE's free estate planning tool, you can build your will, trust, or establish a beneficiary designation to support Abridged. You can also use the tool to plan your estate without naming us at all.
Everyone needs a plan.
Stock, DAF, & IRA
Gifts
If you hold appreciated stock, or you're 70 1/2 or older with an IRA, there's a way to give that can do more for local journalism and less to your tax bill. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) Donor-advised Fund (DAF) grants, and stock transfers can be made quickly and easily through our free online tool.
Abridged is a service of PBS KVIE, a 501 (c)(3) public charity, EIN 94-1421463. Gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and are processed and receipted by PBS KVIE. Giving Docs is a free, independent estate planning service and never obligates you to include Abridged, or any organization, in your plans.
