Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that unleashes the power of radical generosity. Created in 2012, Giving Tuesday is a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
“This Giving Tuesday carries a different weight,” said Emma Glenn, PBS Reno Vice President of Development. “The loss of federal funding has challenged all of us in public media, but it has also revealed the incredible strength of our northern Nevada community. Your generosity today directly sustains PBS Reno’s educational mission, from Curiosity Classroom to local storytelling, and keeps us accessible to every household we serve. We truly can’t do this without you.”
Today, every gift of support has double the impact, because Giving Tuesday is happening during PBS Reno’s Better Together Challenge. When 200 new or renewing PBS Reno members make a donation in any amount by January 1, 2026, Whittier Trust will provide a generous gift of $10,000 each to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northern Nevada and PBS Reno.
“Our region is rich with incredible nonprofits providing essential services that make northern Nevada and Tahoe a more ideal home for each and every one of us,” said Barbara Winter, PBS Reno Director of Membership. “There is true power in the collective, and Giving Tuesday is about harnessing that power – empowering nonprofit resources so they, in turn, can empower our community. If you feel like we do and are eager to make a difference at a time when your voice and support matter most, be mindful about giving to the nonprofits that add value to your life – including, but not limited to, PBS Reno!”
