Make a gift to Arizona PBS this Giving Tuesday…
and help us continue to serve Arizona with public programming and services across our state.
In this wonderful season of giving and reflection, we invite you to join us in celebrating Giving Tuesday by making a gift to Arizona PBS.
Arizona PBS is a membership organization that, in partnership with its member stations across the U.S., serves the public and is a trusted source of news, information and entertainment for people across our state. We rely on the support of our viewers to continue to produce high-quality programming that educates, inspires and entertains.
Ronald Thomas Lane, a Paradise Valley resident, was a civil engineer and real estate developer who planned and developed the 2700-acre, award-winning Mountain Park Ranch in Phoenix. Lane was a life-long athlete, voracious reader and always a foodie. In his memory, Lane’s family generously agreed to match Giving Tuesday donations dollar for dollar up to $20,000 for the second year in a row! We’re so grateful to his wife of 35 years, Sher, and their children, Leigh and Geoff, for their generous support.
Now is the best time to join them, and show your support for Arizona PBS.
Always here for you
As one of the nation’s leading public media organizations, with four broadcast channels and a growing array of digital platforms, Arizona PBS fosters lifelong learning through quality programming, in-depth news coverage and critical educational outreach services. A trusted community resource for nearly 60 years, our signal reaches 80 percent of homes in Arizona, delivering news, science, arts and children’s programming to over 1 million households each week.
Arizona PBS provides a space for conversation, information-sharing and education about topics and issues of common interest. We act as a public square where divergent ideas and perspectives are welcomed; we provide a space for civil discourse, and we strive to make our programming reflect all of our communities.




Your PBS Moments
“PBS News,” “Frontline,” “Washington Week” and “Arizona Horizon” keep you accurately informed all year. “Daniel Tiger” and “Molly of Denali” educated and uplifted the children in your life. “MASTERPIECE” and “Great Performances” gripped and entertained you. “NOVA” and “Nature” fascinated you. “Finding Your Roots” and “Antiques Roadshow” sparked your curiosity.
“Thanks to viewers like you” isn’t just a catch phrase, it’s a powerful reminder that you matter, that support like yours matters. Mark Giving Tuesday with an early gift to show your commitment to the vitally important programs on Arizona PBS.




Consider how Arizona PBS is always here, available to everyone in our state, because committed supporters like you make important programs possible each day. Then consider making a gift this Giving Tuesday.
Thank you for your generosity.

The National Parks

Filmed over the course of more than six years at some of nature’s most spectacular locales, “The National Parks” is a story of people from every conceivable background, rich and poor, soldiers and scientists, natives and newcomers, who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved and in doing so reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy.
