WQED Connects the Community
Make a Big Impact With a Future Gift
By Jason Jedlinski, President and CEO
Thanks to your generous support, WQED will continue educating, entertaining and inspiring people in southwestern Pennsylvania for generations to come. Whether it’s PBS programming like Masterpiece, Classical 89.3 FM, Rick Sebak’s unique take on Pittsburgh nostalgia, or our Education team’s work with our youngest neighbors—we rely on your contributions.
WQED’s mission is to enrich communities through education and storytelling, and we are committed to becoming more relevant—even essential—to more people across the many communities we serve. We’re shifting from creating content for audiences to also creating content with our neighbors. Just as we’ve powerfully partnered with area schools and libraries, we intend to share our unique platforms with creators of all ages and backgrounds. To do this in a meaningful way, we welcome your feedback and support.
Nearly 70 years ago, WQED was America’s first community-sponsored educational television station. We have a duty to ensure that WQED is still viable in another 50 or 70 years, and you play an important part in ensuring our continued impact in the community. Your gifts, large and small, given today or deferred as a planned gift, are vital to WQED.
Jui Joshi, Director of Development, at (412) 622-1386 or jjoshi@wqed.org, is available to discuss ways that your generosity can establish your legacy and help strengthen and sustain WQED. Thank you for your loyal support and commitment to a cherished institution that’s as much a part of Pittsburgh as the three rivers. We appreciate your generosity!
