Dear Reader,

Yes, you! We’ve checked the stats, and you’re among our most engaged readers. We’re so glad that you’re finding value in PublicSource’s stories. That’s the whole reason we do this work — to inform and inspire the people of our region by providing high-quality journalism without paywalls.

Knowing that our work is finding people who appreciate it really lights up my heart — a fitting feeling as we approach the end of Sunshine Week, a national celebration of the important role journalism like ours plays in supporting transparency, access to public records and open government.

Would you consider starting a monthly gift of $15, or making a one-time donation, to keep our stories coming? We have a limited-time offer: If you start a monthly gift of any amount before March 31, you’ll receive this beautiful wood-burned bookmark, made by our friends at HackPGH! You’ll keep track of your page — and help us keep track of what’s going on in our region.

Thanks so much for your readership and consideration.

Warmly,
