Funders

Meet the people and organizations that have invested in our mission!

Our Members

Thank you to the ~200 members who donate to us monthly!

As a small local startup, these small donors help us pay our regular expenses as a nonprofit and a news publication, as well as help us provide the news for free for all, regardless of income.

And our members also help keep us independent and ethical. We are proud that a significant chunk of our funding comes from local people in Columbus who support our mission, rather than being beholden to shareholders and advertisers.
