Why We Gather
What makes SPNN so special is our commitment to empowering community members through access to professional television studios, video equipment, hands-on training, youth media programming, and broadcasting opportunities. Every day, we help amplify voices that are too often underrepresented—including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, youth, people with disabilities, and many other individuals and organizations throughout the Twin Cities.
But we’re facing a big challenge: Last year, we received over $60,000 less in funding from our major funder compared to the year before. While we've worked hard to diversify our funding, this gap is real — and it’s urgent.
Come for the trivia. Stay for the impact.
$10,000 Goal
Your support helps fund youth programs, digital literacy training, and community storytelling.
