Who Funds Us?

In keeping with our mission to strengthen our shared information space and democracy with you, our service to the community always comes first. As a mission-driven, nonprofit news organization, we receive financial support from individuals and organizations that both understand our mission and our code of ethics. Our supporters do not influence our coverage or compromise our integrity in any way.  

We uphold our role as a trusted community news organization by being fully transparent when it comes to our financial supporters. Additionally, we utilize a volunteer ombudsman to help address any concerns or questions about our funding or our organization.  

Our organization would not be possible without our early supporters (founding up to 11/30/21), and they be found here. We also rely on support from the local business community, and sponsors and business members can be found here. Questions about supporting our work as a member? Check out our membership FAQs.

We are grateful to our individual supporters and foundations, and their support makes our work possible and vital in helping advance our mission. The following reflects our current supporters since the launch of our free, community-supported news organization (11/30/21) and is updated quarterly. If you have donated and do not see you name on here, please email memberships@austinmonitor.com.
