The Signal Society is a special group of friends who annually contribute $1,500 - $9,999 to KQED. This generous support ensures that KQED can continue to present the highest quality programming and educational services for the people of Northern California.

Membership in the Signal Society offers substantial personal rewards as well. Members have unique opportunities to enjoy stimulating by-invitation-only events with the people who make public broadcasting a local and national treasure, use of the 500-title Lending Library, and more.
