Keep Public Access Strong: Support Open, Unfiltered Access to Government.


C-SPAN is committed to making government transparent, open, and accessible for everyone. With no government funding and no ads, our work relies entirely on people who believe in public accountability. People like you.


But public access is at risk. As cable subscriptions decline, so does the funding that has long ensured Americans can see how decisions are made in real time— not just read about them later.


Your donation keeps the lens focused where it matters most: inside the rooms where democracy happens.


Why Your Support Matters

When you give to C-SPAN, you’re not just donating to a channel, you’re protecting a principle. You ensure that everyone, not just the powerful, can witness the workings of our government unfiltered and uninterrupted.


With your support, we can:

✅ Provide unfiltered access to Congress, the White House, and the Supreme Court — without bias or commentary
✅ Deliver real civics education to over 40,000 classrooms
✅ Preserve the historical record for generations to come
✅ Champion civil dialogue by broadcasting every voice, not just the loudest


Your Gift Powers:

  • Cameras in committee rooms
  • Gavel-to-gavel coverage of government action
  • Captions and access tools for all viewers
  • A permanent free archive used by educators, journalists, and citizens

⏳ Now Is the Time to Act

As more Americans turn to streaming, the traditional funding from cable and satellite fees is vanishing. Your donation helps us meet people where they are: on every screen, at any time, without sacrificing access or integrity.
