AT RSN YOUR DONATION “REALLY” DOES MATTER: Most donor-supported organizations say that, “donors like you” make it happen. And to some extent that’s normally true. What they do not say however is that far larger donors play the dominant role in funding the organization. Not at RSN. Here your donations, which average just under thirty dollars are the organization’s mainstay. We do it on volume. The more donors we have the easier the burden on the individual donor. We have - a lot - of people not giving. That’s the bad news. The good news is that when we get them going we’ll have no problem with funding. Help out. It doesn’t hurt, it helps! / Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News
