Dear Friends,

On behalf of everyone at CapRadio, I am proud to share our Annual Impact Report. This past year has been an extraordinary journey for us filled with both incredible accomplishments and difficult challenges.

We told stories that enlivened minds and enriched our community. We expanded local journalism to help those in our region gain a deeper understanding of the place they call home. We investigated the failures of the U.S. Forest Service after the Caldor Fire, prompting a bipartisan group of Congress members to demand answers.

While our impact and achievements stand on their own merit, they have been partially overshadowed by the serious financial situation that we currently face.

As we work closer than ever with Sacramento State to take swift and decisive action to get our house in order and ensure that we never find ourselves in this position again, one thing is abundantly clear: Our commitment to public service has not faltered — and it will not falter.

A rare and cherished gift for inquiring minds, CapRadio serves our community as a trusted and reliable resource that informs and educates. And we will continue delivering on our mission with the support of our community.

One of the last bastions of independent, local media free from outside influences, CapRadio’s public services are more important than ever. To our valued donors and audiences, your ongoing support and generosity will preserve the gift of public media now and in the future.

Thank you for your commitment to CapRadio.
