Help SAPA’s mission of
community connection
by becoming a monthly donor.
Hi there!
Do you value the connections our community builds at the special events SAPA covers and produces?
Springfield Area Public Access TV is facing declining revenues as more community members move away from cable subscriptions and onto other platforms.
(Like this website!)
Access is part of our name and core to our mission, so we have expanded our services to include these new ways to reach our community.
All community members with an electronic device and an internet connection can access our content, regardless of whether they subscribe to cable service.
Traditionally, revenue from cable subscriptions has been our primary funding source; it makes up 83% of our income, and this source has decreased by nearly 20% in the past three years.
In real terms, this decrease is approximately equivalent to:
Our Entire Facilities Operating Budget
or
One of Our Three Full Time Salaries
Your reliable monthly donation will help SAPA continue our mission to inform, empower, and connect our community, just as we have been doing for over 25 years.
