Founders’ Day Giving
46 Years of Democracy Unfiltered
We Did It — And Then Some!
$80,000 + Raised. 46 Years and Going.
Thanks to our incredible community, we didn’t just meet our Founders’ Day goal — we surpassed it. Together, we raised over $80,000 to support democracy unfiltered. That’s $36,000 and more beyond our original target of one thousand dollars for every year C-SPAN has kept government transparent and accessible.
Democracy unfiltered takes work and you stepped up, big time. The campaign goal is exceeded, but the work continues. For now, we’re celebrating you and the impact you’ve made.
Because of your support in just the first months of 2025, we’ve been able to:
✅ Cover the first 100 days of President Trump’s second term — including confirmation hearings, press briefings, and congressional reactions
✅ Interview 64 new members of the 119th Congress — helping viewers get to know the new members shaping our future
✅ Capture every moment from the House and Senate floor — Sen. Cory Booker breaks a 68-year-old record with his 25-hour Senate floor speech.
✅ Bring the country together with full coverage of President Jimmy Carter’s passing and memorial events
This is what democracy looks like and you made it possible.
Your Gift Goes Even Further
Every dollar above our goal means:
✔ More hours of unedited access to government proceedings
✔ More support for civic education in 40,000+ classrooms
✔ More innovation so C-SPAN stays accessible on every screen
And while we’re proud of this milestone, we’re not slowing down. There’s still important work ahead and your continued support makes it possible. If you haven’t had a chance to give yet, it’s not too late. Every gift keeps democracy accessible, transparent, and unfiltered.
💙 Thank you for supporting public access, civic education, and transparency. We're so proud to celebrate this moment with you.

I know Founders' Day has passed, but I have made this small donation. I find C-Span's coverage of the American political scene invaluable in the current political climate. I also watching content via American History TV

I am donating to C-SPAN to ensure that our government remains accessible/accountable and transparent with its citizenry. Government can only be as good as the people who make it up and C-SPAN has been the catalyst for connecting people with official proceedings, historical events, and the personalities that run our country. So sorely needed service.

C-SPAN has become my most trusted American government news platform — just the facts as they happen, with no editorializing — and your online archives preserve all this rich American history. Thank you, C-SPAN!

So glad your channel is NOT taxpayer funded, because by now it would have become state run TV. We desperately need your independent, unfiltered voice in our media

Happy to support your excellent presentations and weekend discussions. I would request that your app on Booknotes+ reduce the volume of your ads. They are twice and three times as loud as Brian Lamb's interviews and very annoying. Could you tone them down? Much appreciated.

Love your raw coverage of our government hearings, interviews with lawmakers and Book TV. Nice to see all of Jimmy Carter’s celebrations and inaugural activities unfiltered. You have contributed greatly to my civic knowledge and engagement. I Also listen to CSpan Radio stations, too. Thanks and hope you are here for years to come. Our democracy depends on your kind of coverage.

Jim | $10/M
Thank you for always providing an open, bias-free source of U.S. politics. Despite the adversarial nature, a working knowledge of politics should be an important part of every adult life. Sources have become far too biased in their coverage of it, you are the one source that presents an unfiltered, unbiased, and very welcome access to it. Thank you!
