The Campaign for GBH: Leadership in the Digital Century was the largest in GBH’s history, raising $215 million against an original goal of $175 million. The effort helped to strengthen GBH as a public media leader on multiple platforms in children’s media and education; history, arts and culture; journalism; and science.
The Campaign attracted support at every level and from multiple philanthropic sources, from annual gifts to the Ralph Lowell Society that sustain our day-to-day operations, to major gifts from individuals and foundation grants for specific initiatives, to planned and endowment gifts that provide for the future of public media.
Unrestricted and designated Catalyst Funds provided substantial support, especially critical in these times of rapid change. This allowed our visionary storytellers, journalists and producers to sustain excellent programming, pursue research and development and make investments in emerging media platforms that meet audiences where and when they want to consume content.
