NPR receives $113M in gifts after losing federal funding.

NPR received $113 million in charitable gifts, the largest in its history, following the elimination of federal funding for public media. The donations include $80 million from philanthropist Connie Ballmer and $33 million from an anonymous donor. The funds are earmarked for digital innovation and strengthening operations, though NPR leaders warn they cannot replace lost federal support and layoffs remain a possibility.
