NPR has collected a total of $113 million from philanthropist Connie Ballmer, once a member of the NPR Foundation trustee board, and an anonymous donor, after the media organization was defunded by the Republican-controlled federal government last year.
NPR announced the charitable donations on Thursday, describing them as “two of the largest gifts” in the public radio network’s history.
