Here’s what we aim to do with your contributions if we reach our goal:

*Hire a full-time or several part-time reporters to help us cover more housing, environmental, tech, health, and community issues as only we can—clearly, outspokenly, and unafraid 

*Research more news grants to help us conduct deep investigative reporting that really digs into issues like City Hall corruption, environmental degradation, housing developer scams, and institutional racism and discrimination 

*Increase our social media reach and video reporting to engage younger viewers and voters, and help our reporting reach more people across the digital divide. (See the great work we’re already doing here.)

*Cover the important upcoming elections even more with experience, institutional knowledge, and on-the-ground energy 

*Redesign our website for easier use and readability. 

*Ensure 48 Hills lives on to fight into the future, despite deep cuts in non-profit news funding and arts grants. 

Please join us on our mission to keep media independent, and power accountable! Thank you to all our readers and supporters who have helped us get this far—almost 13 years! Let’s do 13×13 more.
