After initial budget drafts eliminated all state funding for Prairie Public, the Senate Appropriations Committee has partially restored one-time infrastructure funding—but operating support remains at zero.
Governor Armstrong had recommended $2.864 million in total funding for the 2025-27 biennium: $1.164 million in operating support, and $1.7 million in one-time infrastructure funding. So far, the Senate has included $850,000 of the infrastructure funding, but none of the operating support that Prairie Public relies on to serve communities across North Dakota.
We encourage you to contact members of the Senate Appropriations Committee and urge full restoration of Prairie Public’s funding—especially the operating support line item. The committee meets Monday, April 21.
Thank you for your continued support of public media in North Dakota.
