Yo homie!

For this Giving Tuesday, I went on a social media rant about the weird place news orgs are in. We're best known for sharing other people's stories, like the many direct service orgs and individual creators worthy of your giving today. 

But we also need to share our own: We can only tell those stories if we have funding to do so.

As we close out 2024, Technical.ly is launching our first year-end campaign to make sure our readers remain at the center of our work. Can we count on your support with a tax-deductible donation?

I spend a lot of my days as Technical.ly founder-CEO convincing economic development leaders, service providers and tech employers they should invest in our services, platform and community. That's let us do a lot of great work, but has its limitations. For one, there's that old saying: If you're not paying for the product, you are the product.

Technical.ly is the United States’ only multi-local news organization with a technical specialty. We've been around for 15 years — and we’re unique in other ways too. You’ve probably noticed most other business publications you visit have paywalls. Have you noticed we don’t?

That’s where the Technical.ly Journalism Fund comes in. It’s a crucial part of our bottom line. To make it all work, we need to raise $25,000 by the end of this year. We’re already 25% of the way there.

If you believe entrepreneurship and tech careers should be accessible to everyone, please consider making a tax-deductible gift today. Any amount helps, whether it's $50 or $500 or more.

With gratitude,

Christopher Wink

Technical.ly cofounder and CEO
