Overview
KQED is an NPR-member radio station owned by Northern California Public Broadcasting in San Francisco. A grant to KQED will support the Campaign 21 building project, a $135 million community investment. This effort will lead to an increase in digital capacity and original programming, the hiring of journalists and audience engagement staff, updates to its technological infrastructure, and building renovations. The newly renovated building, expected to be completed in 2021, will make it possible for KQED to serve the community and become a major convener of civil dialogue in the Bay Area.
