More Information

Dear Friend,

I am reaching out to share with you some exciting news. The Gill Foundation announced on July 17 that they are gifting the Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado building (located at 315 E. Costilla St. in Colorado Springs) to Rocky Mountain PBS to create an innovative, unprecedented collaboration. This generous gift is valued at approximately $1.3 million and is the largest private donation in the 56-year history of our organization.

This catalytic investment enables Rocky Mountain PBS to establish the "Tim Gill Center for Public Media" - an exciting initiative led by Rocky Mountain PBS to bring together 21 organizations throughout Colorado, including the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, Radio Colorado College KRCC 91.5FM, Pikes Peak Community College, Pikes Peak Library District, and the Rocky Mountain Community Radio group's 16 public radio partners around the state to create cross-platform content, increasing our collective impact, and linking higher education with public media to arm students with the requisite skills to thrive in the new media environment.

This building has served as a community gathering place for citizens and organizations to engage in meaningful dialogue and to work together in common purpose to build a better community, and a better Colorado. We will honor the historic significance of the building by keeping open as public meeting space the "Gay & Lesbian Fund for Colorado Community Room," as well as other public meeting spaces in the building beginning in September. Our commitment to this collaboration is also reflected in the dedication of additional staff to this important initiative and the naming of Amanda Mountain as executive director of the Center.

The transformation of public media in general and Rocky Mountain PBS in particular depends on a radical reformation to serve the informational and educational needs of a changed civil society. This investment from the Gill Foundation offers us an opportunity to create such change.

We seek to be immersed in the community, on air, online and in person in order to serve the community. The Tim Gill Center for Public Media will be that place for collaboration, innovation and engagement in Southern Colorado and beyond.

Please join us in celebrating this important milestone.


Warmly,


Doug Price, President and CEO
