We’re almost there!

Not just near the end of another month, but also close to surpassing our fundraising drive goal for February.

With just about a week left, we’re around $150 short of January’s totals, and in the shortest month of the year!

What we’d like to do during this stretch run of February is not only eclipse that $750 mark, but get to $1,000 for the month in reader donations.

We’ve been asking readers to donate as little as $6 a month—it can be more if you like or any amount you choose—as we strive to add 1,500 new recurring contributors through the spring.

That’s a big goal, to be sure, but East Cobb News was born on big dreams—to serve you, our readers, with professionally reported news and useful community information—that serves you and our advertisers.

We rely on multiple sources of revenue to keep giving you local news that you love, and we’d love to have your support if you haven’t donated yet.

After several years of diligently building not just an engaged audience, but cultivating dynamic relationships with so many of you, we’re asking for your support today to help sustain this community resource.

Your contribution powers the work of East Cobb News in serving this community like no one else—with daily stories about local government, schools, public safety, small business, transportation, the arts, community service and more—and grows an engaged audience as a result.

East Cobb News is among dozens of local independent online news sites that have emerged in recent years to offer grassroots news for their communities with an authentic local touch from publishers who are fully invested in everything that goes on there.

We’re also citizens, parents, homeowners, business owners and volunteers like our neighbors. It’s just not where we work, but the place we call home.

At Eastsider LA, publisher Jesus Sanchez personally thanks his readers who contribute, because he knows they also are the sources of news tips, engagement ideas and suggestions for how to make his publication better.

Indeed, we’ve gotten advertising interest and business at East Cobb News because of the stories we publish—we’re truly hyperlocal, and many small businesses here find that to be an ideal way to reach new customers.

So thank you to recent contributors Barbara, Walter, Trevor, Eric, Arlys, Karen, Kristie, Amy, Michael and so many others for your support of East Cobb News.

With donations from just a few more of you, we can get to $1,000 this month.

Unlike other corporate-0wned outlets, East Cobb News does not charge for reader access. While we’re a for-profit entity, we’re not unlike those who ask readers for their assistance in not just preserving, but strengthening local news.

We’d like to suggest a monthly payment of $6—you can contribute more if you like, or at whatever amount of your choosing.

Our online platform is safe, secure and easy to use, and you can manage your account however you like.
