When most people consider giving to support public broadcasting, they think of making a pledge and writing a check. We receive many generous gifts this way each year. But there are other ways people make a difference by supporting KVIE. A special giving program called Legacy Circle is an honorary way in which friends of KVIE can plan a bequest gift. Or, you may choose to a make a gift of stock, real estate, life insurance, or consider establishing a trust.

Other ways to give include participating in the Raley's and Bel Air Quality of Life card program, asking your employer to enroll in our Matching Gifts Program, or by donating a used car, truck, boat, or motorcycle to our used vehicle program.

Browse through the Support section of our Web site for more details about each of these initiatives.

Community Outreach & Special Events

Diversity

Diversity APA Heritage month
KVIE's dedication to the rich diversity of the Central Valley is demonstrated throughout the year by our commitment to airing programs produced by and for our community.

Our corporate partners are invited to join us in this effort through sponsorship of these special opportunities:

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
Latino Heritage Month

Literacy and Education
Literacy and Education have long been the hallmark of public televisions and PBS programming. KVIE is committed to this cause and has developed many initiatives that go beyond on-air programming and provide progressive community outreach. California used to look with pride at achieving some of the highest reading scores in the nation and now ranks 4th from the bottom. Business, community and government leaders are partnering with KVIE to reverse this trend.

Community Forums
Dialogue and discussion are two of the most important elements of informed decision-making. The result leads to a greater tolerance for divergent opinions and an open-minded posture. KVIE produces programming to stimulate thought and discussion in order to improve the quality of life for all in the Central Valley. Many times KVIE will use its on-air talent and its expertise to hold town hall forums for open discussion of important topics in Sacramento, Stockton and Modesto.

Some examples where corporate underwriters have participated include:

New Valley: Exploring the Future of The Central Valley
Election Issue Debates
Diversity and other topics of broad interest

KVIE has three ways in which you can get involved in these fun, team-building evenings.
