Greater Public is a nonprofit professional development association that supports fundraising for public media. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it serves public media organizations seeking to advance their missions with a sustainable financial footing. For more than forty years, it has facilitated conversations across the system via the annual Public Media Development and Marketing Conference (PMDMC) and by providing peer networks, templates, direct mail services, and current fundraising strategies. Its members are fundraising professionals working in public media and affiliated staff who rely on training and practical resources to strengthen their programs. Within the broader nonprofit and public media landscape, Greater Public functions as a collaborative forum that brings practitioners together rather than operating as a marketing vendor. A historical development includes a partnership with Veritus Group in 2019 to support major-gift fundraising.
