Jack, the average donation to Daily Kos is just $6.78. This is pretty important to us. Why?

The majority of our revenue comes from tens of thousands of Daily Kos readers and activists chipping in just a few bucks at a time. We can't do the work we do day in and day out without it. Please support Daily Kos by donating $6.78 today.

News media outlets have struggled for decades to stay afloat and make ends meet. Some news outlets cut expenses by laying off staff, eliminating departments, or merging with larger corporations, usually, at the cost of quality. Others found a billionaire for a quick infusion of cash, a few became a publicly traded company, while others tried to increase revenue by charging for access to content.

Daily Kos has faced some financial challenges too, but none of these cost-cutting or revenue generating options seemed right. We decided to approach our revenue problems differently: We asked our readers and activists for help by chipping in just a few bucks so we could continue producing the quality of work they had come to expect.

These grassroots contributions now make up nearly half our revenue. Contributions of just a few dollars at a time makes sure that we can pay our bills and staff. But what's more, it makes us accountable to you—not to a billionaire backer, hedge fund, or corporate advertisers. We know that in order to keep operating, we have to fight and deliver for what you believe in.

Daily Kos has not only survived for 20 years, we have thrived! That is because of the Daily Kos community supporting our work a few dollars at a time.

We need to raise $77,736 by the end of this month. Can you continue to support our work by donating just $6.78?

Thanks for all you do,
Amanda McKay, Daily Kos
