NPR receives a small number of competitive grants from CPB and federal agencies like the Department of Education and the Department of Commerce. This funding amounts to less than 1% of revenues.
In 2020 NPR got 23% of its funding from the federal government, and in 2023 PBS got 39% of its funding from the federal government.
