We are officially one week away from the kickoff of our Year-End Membership Drive, which takes place November 29 to December 9 this year.

November 29 is Giving Tuesday, a day dedicated to supporting philanthropic causes in communities all across the country. Here in Colorado, we hope you’ll make it a #GivingNewsDay, too, by making your tax-deductible donation to Aspen Public Radio. When you do, your gift will be matched up to $5,000, thanks to a generous matching challenge presented by the Colorado Media Project and the Rose Community Foundation to support local media organizations across our state.

And, we’ve got gifts for you when you show your support! We want to say “thank you” for supporting Aspen Public Radio, and are excited about this year’s selections, including:

  • The 2023 Calendar from popular radio program, BirdNote ($180 or $15/month)
  • Limited-edition, handcrafted ceramic mugs made by local artists Liz Heller, Natalie Squillante, and Michael Bonds ($365 or $30/month), and
  • Cozy fleece blankets from TenMile Blankets in Frisco, CO ($500)

Consider all the radio programs, news, and valuable information you’ve received from Aspen Public Radio over the last year, including:

  • The Outdoor Report, a summer highlight of all things outdoors with Morning Edition local anchor and reporter Eleanor Bennett
  • News Director Brent Gardner-Smith’s expert moderation of Squirm Night with local Pitkin County candidates candidates for office ahead of the November elections
  • All Things Considered local anchor and reporter Halle Zander’s harrowing story on an act of survival at The Grottos, and her recent investigative series on 911 services for Spanish-speaking residents throughout the Roaring Fork Valley
  • Reporter Caroline Llanes’s competent breakdown Aspen’s proposed short term rental regulations, coverage of RFSD’s 'gender toolkit' to promote inclusivity, and analysis of the impacts of COVID19 throughout our region, and
  • Edlis Neeson Arts & Culture Reporter Kaya Williams’s efforts each week to highlight all the incredible events, exhibitions, and performances across our community.

Listeners like you who donate to Aspen Public Radio make it possible for our local team of broadcast journalists to bring you essential news and stories from across our region, as well as NPR’s in-depth analysis and personal stories that share moments of levity and joy, and expert analysis from the BBC World Service of current events—and the people impacted by them—all around the world.

Whether you’re interested in becoming a new Evergreen member with an automatic contribution of an amount of your choosing, or you’d like to make a one-time gift of any size, you will make an impact when you support this local, nonprofit news service.
