Finally! We are in at Collingwood Yards, and we are ready to wind up our Make It Home fundraising campaign.
After over two years of fundraising, the PBS community has achieved an incredible feat. Together we've raised 86% of our $2.575m budget. That is huge.
We are so grateful to everyone who has contributed. It's been humbling to see donations coming into the station, large and small, from near and far, but always with love and a shared vision for the bright future of PBS.
If you haven't made a donation, or want to donate again to our Make It Home campaign, you have until June 30 to do it. This is the last chance you have to donate $1,067 or above to be included in the PBS Make It Home honour board that will be mounted in the foyer of our new studios.
You can make your tax-deductible donation to our Make It Home appeal by clicking here, or calling 8415 1067.
All last-minute donations will help us to complete Studio 3, the STL to Mt Dandenong and fitting out Studio 5 so we can welcome back musicians performing live and exclusively for PBS. We still have lots of finishing touches, so don't worry your donation will be put to very good use!
If you want your name displayed in perpetuity on the PBS honour board, now is the time to donate.
Below are some suggested levels of support.
$25,000 and above - Sky's the Limit*
$25,000 - Raising the Roof*
$10,000 - Higher Ground*
$5,000 - Build Me Up*

While individual donations made up the majority of our fundraising, we also managed to secure significant support from the Victorian Government (through the Community Support Fund), the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust and The Community Broadcasting Foundation.
And we are extremely grateful for the support we received via matched funding from Creative Partnerships Australia via Plus 1.
We sincerely thank our whole community for coming together and ensuring that PBS Made It Home.

"PBS is unlike any other radio station, so any support you can provide for them will have great impact in the community for hundreds, if not thousands of local musicians and the wider music-loving community." Kylie Auldist, musician and PBS member
