Early Supporters

The widespread support of generous individuals and organizations in our early years helped the Austin Monitor become a reality and dedicated local news source for the community. These supporters donated to the Austin Monitor from our founding in 2013 through November 2021 when transitioned to a free, community-supported news organization.

Our current list of members and supporters from the launch of our free, community-supported news organization (11/30/21 – present) is on our Who Funds Us? page, and our business members and sponsors can be found here.
