Each time your “adopted” program is viewed by a guest in the Paley Center’s library, your name or the name of the gift recipient will be listed as a contributor. Your gift will support everything we do here at Paley, from preserving our media library to championing innovative education initiatives and funding public programs that showcase the finest in television, digital content, and interactive entertainment. There is no better way to honor a loved one.
