In 2008, Congress passed a resolution proclaiming the third week in October as National Estate Planning Awareness Week, which helps the public understand what estate planning is and why it is such a vital component of financial wellness.

The Arkansas PBS Foundation invites viewers to explore their options and help guide the future of public television by considering a charitable bequest. This type of gift does not cost anything during a person’s lifetime, but it is a powerful tool for reducing taxes and leaving a legacy.

Along with your weather forecast, Arkansas PBS has some hot days ahead with new content, and we want to keep you informed.

As 2022 winds to a close, Arkansas PBS extends heartfelt gratitude to all of those who made our work possible this year through your financial support. We don’t take your contributions lightly – they mean so much to us and to your viewing neighbors across the state, especially those who can’t afford to make a donation to our network. Your generosity makes a world of difference, especially in supporting our ability to bring you more Arkansas stories that you won’t see anywhere else.

Arkansas PBS and libraries across the state are joining forces to collect new and gently used sweaters and winter clothing items to share with our neighbors in need. Won’t you help a neighbor and help continue Fred Rogers’ legacy for the 2022 Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood Sweater Drive?
