- Information from KQED's 2002 annual report:
- In the year 2002, 48% of KQED's revenue came from contributions and
membership fees.
- For the year 2003:
- The #1 donor to KQED was the Osher Foundation. The amount donated is
believed to be in excess of $10,000,000.00.
- Approximately 60% to 70% of KQED's total revenues will come from contributions.
- Contributions pledged as of March 1, 2003 from just 22 contributors
amounted to approximately $55,000,000.00. Of the 22 pledges, 6 contributors
pledged a total of approximately $38,000,000.00.
- Total pledges from everyone amounted to approximately $70,000,000.00.
Approximately 55% of all pledges are from 6 contributors. One would hope
that all of the contributors support the freedom of access to widely acclaimed
films that the community has requested.
