Greetings!

 

Pioneer Public Television has always been your source for independent media.  Through support from individual viewers like you, we are able to offer an alternative to mainstream television, but as much as you count on us for quality television that is free from commercial influences, we count on your financial support of this valuable regional resource.

As you see week after week, we bring you quality educational and entertaining local and national content right into your living room. We take you on a journey to the past through our historical documentaries.  We give you tools to fuel your imagination through the arts and science programs.  We give you a front row seat to the performance arts. 

Our fiscal year ends June 30, and we need your help to reach our fiscal year-end goal of $25,000.  You can help us raise the final $3,000 so Pioneer can start out the new fiscal year strong.

Please make a gift to Pioneer today to ensure our service to our communities for future generations.

Thank you.
