ABOUT OUR SPRING BLOOM MATCHING CAMPAIGN A generous donor has pledged to match donations up to $50,000 throughout the spring season. Your donation will go twice as far, and help our prize-winning reporting reach deeper and farther. 

The best way to help us is to sign up for a recurring monthly donation here. (Matching amount will count for one year's worth of monthly donation amount.) Monthly donors at the $10+ level receive access to Tim Redmond's exclusive weekly The Agenda Newsletter, telling you all you need to know about the upcoming elections and insider City Hall politics. It's really good. 

But any amount you can give will help! We are saving local, independent media—and the soul of San Francisco—from billionaire fascists, impinging oligarchs, and out-of-town corporate chains. We are a nonprofit organization: Your donation is tax-deductible to the furthest extent of the law.

Here’s what we aim to do in the future:

*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.
