Our next Pledge Drive: March 1 to March 16


What are "Pledge Drives"?

Texas Tech Public Media’s Pledge Drives are special fundraising events that help keep the programs you love on the air. As a nonprofit public media station, we rely on community support to bring you high-quality educational content, local stories, and cultural programming.

During our pledge drives, we feature special programming, including exclusive documentaries, performances, and viewer favorites—all curated to inspire and inform our community. Your donation directly funds the shows you cherish, from Lone Star Emmy Nominated local storytelling, to trusted children’s programming and in-depth news coverage. Plus, as a thank-you for your generosity, we offer exclusive pledge drive gifts—donate on your terms, and choose one of our many options to contribute.

Join us in preserving and protecting independent, educational media.
