Dear NHPR Friend and Valued Listener,

The words of Henry David Thoreau characterize radio well. In the air, or as we say, on the air, is where we do our work. Beginning with local service in Concord nearly twenty-five years ago, New Hampshire Public Radio's signal now reaches more than 90% of the state. Along the way, we've built a solid foundation for growth. Our public service mission is expressed every minute of every day. NHPR has become the pre-eminent source of balanced and accurate reporting and analysis in the State.

Over the years, the citizens of New Hampshire have accepted the challenge to support NHPR's programs and possibilities. The news, information and cultural programming you hear daily represent the investment and commitment of thousands of listeners. It's what makes public radio strong, independent, trusted and valued.

We are humbled and proud to be stewards of this essential community resource. The Campaign For NHPR will ensure NHPR's place in the daily lives of listeners statewide and guarantee that NHPR has the capacity for continued growth. Our new broadcast facility will offer the space for expansion and state-of-the-art technology to maintain our standard of excellence well into this 21st Century. It will allow us to increase the depth and breadth of our coverage, strengthen our broadcast signal, and offer our programs online and on demand to better meet the needs of our present and future listeners.

As we seize these new opportunities for our community and the station, we hope that you will share in our enthusiasm to strengthen this foundation and join us in pledging to The Campaign for New Hampshire Public Radio - 21st Century Radio for the Granite State.
