Our new "Donate Now" screen at the end of our stories
makes it a snap to support QUEST.
You've heard it before – KQED runs on donations from our viewers and listeners. More than half of our budget comes from people like you, and this is what makes it extremely special in our community.

We hope that all this free content, available to anyone who wants to embed it, use in classrooms or share with friends, will inspire you to help keep it sustainable.

Becoming a KQED member is one option, but what if you're not from around here? Maybe you're just not a joiner. Or you really want to support a specific program– like QUEST– that matters to you.

We hear that. So we're trying something new. Enter the QUEST microdonation pilot program.

At the end of all new videos on the QUEST website, you can donate $5 (or another prime number of your choice), in a simple one-time transaction via credit card or PayPal. No pledge, no need to call in, no requirement to become a member.

If we received one $5 donation a year from everyone who watches our stories online, we'd collect enough to produce a whole new season of QUEST! Of course, if you just want to give straight away, we won't stop you. You may proceed directly to our microdonation page.

This is a pilot project for us to test results and we're anxious to hear what you think. Please leave any comments that you might have here or email donation@kqed.org — and please spread the word to your (generous) friends!
