We’d like to update you on our annual appeal, which we’ve been running for about two weeks. So far we’ve raised $1,495, and we’re really thankful for all of our supporters. If you haven’t made your contribution yet, please take some time to donate today. Our goal is to raise $10,000 by February 18 th so that we can continue to run our programs in 2011!

The Bronx News Network is a non-profit organization. The information we provide here, and in our print publications, is free to anyone who wants it, but it costs us a lot of money to produce. We need the support of our readers to make it all work and to grow BxNN so that we can provide more news to more Bronxites.

Your support will help us publish our two bi-lingual monthlies – the Mount Hope Monitor and the Tremont Tribune – and run a youth journalism program for high school students.

We also publish the BxNN blog and we want it to be a “home page” for the Bronx and a place for dialogue that leads to community improvement. Our blog is read by many important leaders and decision makers, as well as Bronx residents. Here’s one of our fans, Councilman Fernando Cabrera on why he reads our blog every day.
