Dear Reader,
Thank you for valuing the nonprofit journalism we produce. We hope our work is an antidote to the overwhelming, polarizing nature of today’s news cycle. At PublicSource, our public-service mission revolves around being as useful as we can be to the community we serve.
Hopefully, you know that our work would not be possible without donations from people like you. Today, as we ask for your financial support, we want to also share some information about why we rely on that support — because we often hear a lot of misconceptions about how our work is financed.
Our newsroom is funded by several main sources:
- 15% comes from small donors (readers like you!)
- 83% comes from foundations
- 2% comes from advertising on our website and in our newslettersÂ
As you might imagine, our primary expense is our staff who produces our journalism. So one way to look at that breakdown is that of our 13-member team, two of them have their salaries paid by you, the people they aim to serve with their journalism. Your financial support is extremely important to us because it shows that the work we’re doing is valued by the people we do it for.Â
We know not everyone can afford to support our work, but if you’re able to spare even a few dollars, you can help us continue to exist and produce more journalism for you and for all. Will you donate to fuel our work?
Â
