Wow, what a response!

That’s the first thing I thought this week when I saw the outpouring of support for our February fundraising drive.

We’re trying to surpass the January total of $750 in reader contributions, and halfway through the campaign we’re more than halfway past that mark.

Thank you so much to all who have contributed!

Can we get past $1,000! I think so, and I hope you will help!

Especially encouraging is that most of this reader revenue is for recurring monthly 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 both 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.

Please donate today!

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.

Simply put, there’s nothing else like East Cobb News in this market. There’s nobody else coming to you every day, several times a day, with general-interest news like local government and schools, public safety, small business and real estate, arts and entertainment, recreation, community events and those who are helping others in need.

That’s because East Cobb News was designed to serve everyone invested in this community,

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we hear so many compliments from you about what you get here.

Now is the time to show that you value what East Cobb News means for you.

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.

We’re halfway through the shortest month, and it’s gratifying to know how many of you have stepped up to support the work of East Cobb News.

We’d love to have more of you do the same, if you haven’t already done so!

Please consider giving today, at whatever amount suits you. We appreciate your support!
