Posted 02 Dec 2019
The Arkansas Educational Television Network Foundation has issued a #GivingTuesday challenge: now through Tuesday, Dec. 3, for every dollar raised by the foundation, a group of generous donors will match it up to $20,000 to help AETN acquire programming in 2020.
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.
Donations of $5 or more per month ($60+ yearly) will qualify the donor for on-demand streaming of favorite PBS programs through AETN Passport.
Donors may support the programming they love through the Arkansas PBS Foundaion’s #GivingTuesday challenge by visiting aetn.org/givingtuesday or facebook.com/aetnfoundation. Facebook is also partnering with PayPal to match up to $7 million of #GivingTuesday contributions made through the social network to eligible nonprofits on Dec. 3.
All donations will support programming on AETN, Arkansas's PBS affiliate and only statewide public service media network.
The Arkansas PBS Foundaion exists to support AETN's mission of enhancing lives through trusted, multiplatform public media content and educational services. The Foundation provides Arkansans with opportunities to connect with Arkansas’s only statewide public media by becoming a financial donor, corporate or foundation partner, volunteer, or by other means of giving. The Arkansas PBS Foundaion builds and strengthens relationships between AETN, donors and audiences and is committed to being a transparent and accountable steward of private financial support.
