Support us

It's come to our attention that people are so enthusiastic about audience-led journalism that they'd like to support us financially. If that's you, thank you.

Please note that since we do not — yet — have 501(c)(3) status, your contributions are not currently tax-deductible. If this is an obstacle, please email hello@newsrelaynetwork.org and we'll get you set up to donate through our fiscal sponsor.

As of fall 2025, here are our fundraising priorities:

  • Listening sessions (space, catering, and equipment)
  • Newsroom LAUNCH! That includes covering the costs of a digital presence, online and print distribution, and contributor compensation
  • Content translation
  • Securing work space: We want to be on the ground, in the community, accessible to everyone, as much as possible, so we're looking for an office

If you're short on cash but have time, materials, or other forms of support to offer, we're thrilled and grateful. Let us know and we'll coordinate. Even spreading the word about us is a big help!
