<p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">Dear Ben,</p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;"><span style="color: black;">We are beyond grateful for the support you've shown us this past year since losing our federal funding: a $5 million hit over two years, and an ongoing loss of about 12% of our budget. That's no small thing. We asked folks to step forward and donate to help close that gap, and so many of you did. Thanks to that support, we were able to minimize cuts to the programs you see and hear on our air, and we are strategically shepherding our resources for the future.</span></p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;"><span style="color: black;">We still have real work ahead of us, especially now that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting no longer exists. But we are in a far stronger position than we could have hoped for a year ago, thanks to folks like you.</span></p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;"><span style="color: black;">Your support makes this work possible, so I wanted to express our appreciation and share a few recent wins you helped make happen!</span></p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;"></p><hr style="background-color: #CCCCCC; color: #CCCCCC;" /><h2 style="font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: normal; font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-weight: 700;">What Your Support Makes Possible</h2><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">Thanks to the contributions of supporters like you, Maine Public produces journalism and media that matter. Your support powers projects across our radio, television, digital, and outreach efforts—covering critical issues like the <a href="https://contact.mainepublic.org/s/6054712/4xSejqoY" style="color: #1178b1;">upcoming midterm elections</a>, the <a href="https://contact.mainepublic.org/s/6054713/4xSejqoY" style="color: #1178b1;">ICE surge in Maine</a>, and <a href="https://contact.mainepublic.org/s/6054714/4xSejqoY" style="color: #1178b1;">America @ 250</a>.</p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">Because of you, we continue to deepen our investigations, engage our communities, and bring stories from every corner of Maine. Community support like yours is absolutely essential to our mission!</p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;"></p><hr style="background-color: #CCCCCC; color: #CCCCCC;" /><h2 style="font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: normal; font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-weight: 700;">Recent Awards & Honors You Helped Us Achieve</h2><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;" align="center"></p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">Down East Magazine Best of Maine (2025) – Readers' Choice for Best Radio Station</p><p class="" style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">49th New England Emmy Nominations (2026) – Magazine Program: <em>Borealis</em>, Season 2 — Aislinn Sarnacki, Brian Bechard, Nick Godfrey, Nick Woodward, Derek Brigham, Christoph Gelfand, Sarah-Taylor Wieluns</p><p class="" style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">49th New England Emmy Nomination (2026) – Video Essayist: <em>Assignment Maine</em> — Rebecca Conley</p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">We were also honored to receive six Maine Association of Broadcasting Awards, six Public Media Journalist Association Awards, and a Disability Rights Maine Equal Access for All Award last fiscal year.<br /></p><p class="" style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">These are a few examples; there are more awards, nominations, and acknowledgments across our radio, television, digital, and reporting teams. <a href="https://contact.mainepublic.org/s/6054715/4xSejqoY" style="color: #1178b1;">Click here to check out the full list!</a></p><hr style="background-color: #CCCCCC; color: #CCCCCC;" /><h2 style="font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; color: #000000; line-height: normal; font-size: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px; font-weight: 700;">Looking Forward</h2><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">As we move forward through these challenging times, we are more committed than ever to serving the people of Maine with journalism that informs, connects, and inspires. When we do this well, we honor your trust in us.</p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">I welcome your thoughts on how we're doing. And if you're able to give again — or a little more — it goes a long way toward keeping this work growing.</p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">Thank you for sticking with us. Your generosity means more than you know, and Maine Public simply wouldn't be the same without you.</p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;">With gratitude,</p><p style="font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Arial', sans-serif; line-height: normal; color: #000000;"></p></td></tr>

Dear Ben,
We are beyond grateful for the support you've shown us this past year since losing our federal funding: a $5 million hit over two years, and an ongoing loss of about 12% of our budget. That's no small thing. We asked folks to step forward and donate to help close that gap, and so many of you did. Thanks to that support, we were able to minimize cuts to the programs you see and hear on our air, and we are strategically shepherding our resources for the future.
We still have real work ahead of us, especially now that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting no longer exists. But we are in a far stronger position than we could have hoped for a year ago, thanks to folks like you.
Your support makes this work possible, so I wanted to express our appreciation and share a few recent wins you helped make happen!
What Your Support Makes Possible
Thanks to the contributions of supporters like you, Maine Public produces journalism and media that matter. Your support powers projects across our radio, television, digital, and outreach efforts—covering critical issues like the upcoming midterm elections (https://contact.mainepublic.org/s/6054712/4xSejqoY), the ICE surge in Maine (https://contact.mainepublic.org/s/6054713/4xSejqoY), and America @ 250 (https://contact.mainepublic.org/s/6054714/4xSejqoY).
Because of you, we continue to deepen our investigations, engage our communities, and bring stories from every corner of Maine. Community support like yours is absolutely essential to our mission!

I welcome your thoughts on how we're doing. And if you're able to give again — or a little more — it goes a long way toward keeping this work growing.
