The Studio Society — Where Passion Meets Philanthropy
The mission of Houston Public Media is to serve the people of the greater Houston area with radio, television, and on-line programming that informs, educates, and entertains. We depend on the generous support of individuals, corporations, and foundations to develop and deliver our acclaimed programs, and we have developed a wide range of opportunities to recognize those who support us most generously.
Whether you are a KUHF News listener, a Classical 91.7 music enthusiast, or a loyal HoustonPBS viewer, we invite you to join one of our major donor circles, or continue your support as a Houston Public Media member. You may choose to be highlighted as either a radio or HoustonPBS supporter, selecting from a new array of benefits available only to those who contribute at the highest levels — where passion meets philanthropy.
