locally within the San Diego market.
The Membership area of KPBS functions to develop and implement

to cultivate and build relationships with members and potential
donors. The area includes the membership functions of database
marketing and data quality, membership operations, digital
fundraising, member engagement/cultivation, direct and e-marketing,
audience services (including front desk staff), on-air fundraising
and the vehicle donation program. Combined Membership area revenue
expectations are set annually with a FY23 goal of $9.85M ($8M from

The department also manages the communications and relationships
(in person, via phone, and via email/online) with approximately
60,000 active station members who donate less than $1,200 annually

consume their media, KPBS continues to pivot and optimize both its
operational and revenue-generating areas. The Membership area is
focused on maximizing donor gifts, monitoring and adapting to

Overview
KPBS, San Diego's NPR and PBS stations, provides news and
information to more than 1.2 million people each week across San
Diego and Imperial counties on TV, radio and digital platforms. A
public service of San Diego State University, KPBS has a staff of
about 180 (full and part-time) and an overall annual operating
budget of around $37 million. KPBS ranks consistently as one of the
top public television and public radio stations in the country and
locally within the San Diego market.
The Membership area of KPBS functions to develop and implement
strategies and tactics that bring core revenue to the station and
to cultivate and build relationships with members and potential
donors. The area includes the membership functions of database
marketing and data quality, membership operations, digital
fundraising, member engagement/cultivation, direct and e-marketing,
audience services (including front desk staff), on-air fundraising
and the vehicle donation program. Combined Membership area revenue
expectations are set annually with a FY23 goal of $9.85M ($8M from
membership and $1.85M from the vehicle donation program).
The department also manages the communications and relationships
(in person, via phone, and via email/online) with approximately
60,000 active station members who donate less than $1,200 annually
(members who donate $1,200 and more are separately managed by the
Major Gifts team within Development). Out of the 60,000 active
donors, approximately 50% are sustaining members.
As a continued response to local and national economics, database
and technology improvements as well as changes in ways members
consume their media, KPBS continues to pivot and optimize both its
operational and revenue-generating areas. The Membership area is
focused on maximizing donor gifts, monitoring and adapting to
market changes, while preparing and positioning for future
opportunities.
