WHYY is the leading public media organization in the Philadelphia Region, including Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and beyond. Our Vision is to create a community engaged and enriched through media.
Our Mission is to…
Engage audiences, expand perspectives and empower communities through continuous learning, truthful reporting, healthy dialogue and amplification of diverse voices.
We are deeply committed to the needs of young people. In fact, many people’s first experience with WHYY is watching our award-winning PBS Kids television programs as a child. We also offer multimedia instruction in our studios and at 42+ local schools. However, our children’s service is just the tip of the iceberg.
We produce more than a dozen local programs, such as Fresh Air with Terry Gross, You Oughta Know, and Studio 2. We offer a robust regional news service supported by a newsroom more than 50 people strong. We are also your local PBS and NPR station, bringing you long-time favorite programs, such as Antiques Roadshow, Morning Edition and more.
We bring together people in the community for more than 50 events each year. From critical conversations about civic issues with experts to “meet and greets” with big personalities, keep an eye on our events calendar for things to do all year round.
One of the things that makes us who we are is that we are Member-supported and a not-for-profit organization. Support from people in our community makes up about 50% of our operating budget, with additional support from leadership gifts, corporate underwriting and grants from foundations. This special funding formula allows us the creative freedom to create high-quality programs and services not possible anywhere else.
Their mission alone is enough to get anyone with a soul to throw money their way: The Trevor Project’s mission is to end suicide among LGBTQ young people. Plus since it's Pride Month I wanted to send money to a very important group that's looking after the younger generation.
Here's what popped up after my donation:
Thank you for your gift to The Trevor Project. Your generosity embodies Trevor’s theme for Pride 2023: “Stories of Pride — The Power of Us.”
The “Us” is you, me, and every compassionate ally uniting to create and connect LGBTQ young people with communities that support them. This Pride season, we’re celebrating communities because they can be life-saving. Our research shows that LGBTQ young people are less likely to attempt suicide if they live in affirming environments.
Your contribution today will also help LGBTQ young people who feel alone as they navigate the dark moments of their lives. For them, Trevor’s trained crisis counselors will always be a call, chat, or text away 24/7/365 — listening with compassion and communicating with empathy.
All of us at Trevor are grateful that you’re part of our community — a life-saving force of thousands of staff, trained volunteers, supporters, and advocates who show up for LGBTQ young people every day.
Please join me in the Low Budget Philanthropy movement and help out your community and beyond in the simplest way - donating any amount to whatever charity or organisation that you care about!
