When you support Rocky Mountain Public Media, you ensure that our mission is carried out in the following key areas:
Strengthening the Civic Fabric of Colorado
A PROMISE TO KEEP COMMUNITY FIRST
Together, we often turn to public media to understand our neighbors better. We all have different life experiences, background and beliefs, but we share a collective history. At Rocky Mountain Public Media, we take that into account with everything we create. The community will always have a seat at our table.
Watch this video to see how Rocky Mountain Public Media is creating a Colorado where everyone feels seen and heard.
A Community-Responsive Approach
We are here to understand and provide a voice for community needs, concerns and aspirations. We’re introducing neighbors to each other because once you know someone’s story, it’s hard to hate anyone. By cultivating empathy and increasing understanding for our neighbors, Rocky Mountain Public Media creates a platform for civil discourse which in turn inspires positive changes in the world.
Watch this video to see just some of the ways Rocky Mountain Media offers a place to explore issues and celebrate what it means to be a Coloradan through music and the arts.
