Institutional Support
Public, private and corporate foundation support is critical to the programs and services that PBS SoCal provides. Many foundations find that their support of PBS SoCal is closely aligned with their missions and values. PBS SoCal offers opportunities for foundations to support and become identified with broader initiatives such as Ready To Learn and American Graduate. PBS SoCal has a forty-year history of using our broadcast influence to examine social issues such as early childhood education and dropout prevention. Alongside these on-air campaigns, PBS SoCal partners with over fifty local schools and nonprofits serving low-income neighborhoods to bring parents trusted education resources. These initiatives evolve to serve the needs of our community. This year, PBS SoCal launched To Foster Change: a three-year public media initiative to raise awareness of the systemic challenges, personal plights, and success stories within the foster youth experience.
