Membership FAQ

Have a question about Maine Public Membership? You're in the right place!

Who is a member of Maine Public? Is that different from being an Evergreen Friend?
If you donate to Maine Public, you are a member! There are many Member Benefits including Maine PBS Passport click here to find out more.

Evergreen Friends are members who give each month and their membership is ongoing. Evergreen donations can be paused, stopped, or changed at any time by contacting the membership department. Evergreen Friends don't have to worry about renewing their membership each year and as a result, they do not receive mailed renewal reminders. Being an Evergreen member is the most effective way to support Maine Public!

I am an Evergreen Friend, how can I update my credit card information?
You can update your payment information at www.mainepublic.org/evergreenfriend at any time. If you want to continue your current giving amount, enter your current monthly amount when you fill out the donation form and enter your NEW payment information. This will update your current Evergreen membership with the new information. Be sure to leave a comment letting us know what you changed.

What if I want to change my monthly donation amount?
You can also increase or decrease your monthly contribution at www.mainepublic.org/evergreenfriend. Fill out the donation form and enter your new total monthly payment amount. This will update your current Evergreen membership to the new giving level. Be sure to leave a comment letting us know what you changed.

Where is my Experience Magazine?
Delivery of the Experience Magazine has been delayed in recent months due to vendor supply, staffing issues and other challenges that the Postal Service is facing. Unfortunately, we anticipate this to be a recurring issue.

Until your new Experience arrives, you can click here to view the latest issue (and past issues) of Experience online at any time. If you decide you no longer want the guide mailed to you, please let us know by emailing membership@mainepublic.org.

My membership has expired, how can I renew it?
