Sound Vision: Building Community One Story at a Time

“We watched Sesame Street and it was wonderful. If only the world could be a better place like Sesame Street! We have 11 grandchildren. Some of them are young and I send the information to their parents. It’s a whole new generation, and I’m excited there are programs to support kids, especially all SDPB’s doing to help them learn online and during these difficult times.” - Andy & Barb Knight, Rapid City

SDPB’s Sound Vision Campaign is a multi-year effort that has helped build studios, expand local journalism, enhance programming, and create outreach events South Dakotans trust and enjoy.

SDPB’s ability to be the feet-on-the-ground source of information is vital. We are generating stories and news specific to your life. We are involved in the communities we serve, understanding that South Dakota is more than three big dots on the map.

The leadership phase of the Sound Vision Campaign has raised over $12.2 million towards the $13 million goal. The campaign goal is broken down in three parts: • $1 million for facility upgrades • $2 million to expand the reporting team and develop new programs • $10 million for our endowment.

Now We are Asking You to Help Meet Our Goal by Making a Matching Gift.

Your gift will inspire your neighbors and colleagues to join you in giving to the Sound Vision Campaign. And because of the generosity of a group of SDPB donors, the first $125,000 in gifts towards the public phase of Sound Vision will be matched! Please do not miss this unique opportunity to help SDPB build community not one, but two stories at a time and double the impact of your gift.

To make a matching gift supporting the Sound Vision Campaign, visit: SDPB.org/SoundVision or use the envelope in this magazine. To make a multi-year pledge, please contact the Friends Development team by phone at 800-333-0789 or by email at Friends@SDPB.org
