08 May 19 Starving for Cash, Running out of Time The amount of cash we have on hand to run Reader Supported News is dangerously low. We have to draw the line now to right the ship. We will turn as much attention to funding as needed to keep RSN live. Who can donate? Marc Ash Founder, Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!

08 May 19 It's Live on the HomePage Now: Reader Supported News WE MUST HAVE AT LEAST A SHOESTRING BUDGET - Reader Supported News is a post-industrial-meltdown organization. We are a lean organization with minimal overhead. Pretty much striped down for survival. We do not take corporate money and we are prepared to take less because of it. Still we are falling short on this fundraising drive. If you are not an active donor and you believe in what we do, please get behind Reader Supported News with a contribution. Thanks sincerely to all. / Marc Ash Founder, Reader Supported News Sure, I'll make a donation!
