We Are in Trouble. It Doesn't Have to Be This Way.

People want to come to RSN, but they don't want to know anything about how the organization survives financially.

This never used to be the case. The people who have come to Reader Supported News in the past have willingly contributed to sustain the organization.

These dollar figures are totally manageable. We are getting into deep trouble over a completely blind eye to funding.

In distress.

06 July 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News WE HAVE A FUNDING CRISIS ON OUR HANDS - We have donors, many good ones in fact. But the overall response rate - at a fraction of one percent - is just too low. It is absolutely causing a crisis. If we did not need the funding we would not spend this much time raising money - would not happen. What we need really are a few good donors. See what you can do. - Marc Ash, Founder Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
