But that can change quickly when it want’s to. Think about the dedication, the passion and the history of Reader Supported News. We have to have a budget. It doesn’t have to be huge but a reasonable budget is required. RSN: You can count on us. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!

20 June 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News WE ARE NOW GETTING DONATIONS, BUT THEY ARE SUPER-SMALL - As of this morning the pace of donations is picking up, but the dollar figures are so small that we are not making any progress.

07 June 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now:   Reader Supported News WHERE WILL THE MONEY COME FROM? WE BEGIN ANOTHER FUNDRAISER. - We have to find a way to raise a budget. In the case of Reader Supported News that has always been accomplished through reader donations. It’s not the economy, that appears strong, by means of Trump or Obama. However in either case these are not bad economic times. Our readership remains strong, people love what we do. But getting people to actually donate has become a real battle. It is a battle that we have no choice but to fight and win. We will. / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!

17 May 18 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News YES, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EXPECT DONATIONS SINCE OUR INCEPTION - Someone wrote in irritated that we should “expect” donations. Yes without a doubt we have always been able to expect the few donations it takes to run the organization. With the number of readers we have and the relatively few donations we need, it should be a low threshold. Specifically it should take half the time, half the fundraising messages and produce half the stress. That’s where we need to be, and I am responsible for making it happen. For those of you who can see the benefit, see what you can do. Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
