    • The #1 donor to KQED was the Osher Foundation. The amount donated is believed to be in excess of $10,000,000.00.
    • Approximately 60% to 70% of KQED’s total revenues will come from contributions.
    • Contributions pledged as of March 1, 2003 from just 22 contributors amounted to approximately $55,000,000.00. Of the 22 pledges, 6 contributors pledged a total of approximately $38,000,000.00.
    • Total pledges from everyone amounted to approximately $70,000,000.00. Approximately 55% of all pledges are from 6 contributors. One would hope that all of the contributors support the freedom of access to widely acclaimed films that the community has requested.
