SPN Runs a $10K Do or Die funding drive: Introducing 31 Reasons Why

Sooke PocketNews Posted on by

Pixabay image by Angie, from https://pixabay.com/en/donate-charity-giving-give-aid-654328/This is it. Sooke PocketNews is on the verge. We’re jumping in, and we either swim or sink. We hope to stay afloat. Over the next 31 day (for the duration of March), SPN is running a Do-or-Die fundraiser. During those 31 days, we’ll give you one of 31 Reasons why you might consider joining our (currently very short but bigly loved) list of donors.

The view from the 10 metre diving board:

  • Readership is at an all-time high, with 1.7 million article reads in the past year. We’re kicking some serious backends here.
  • Funding is at an all-time low. We’re currently paying to bring the news to you. That’s unsustainable. “We loves ya baby, but not that much!”

To stay afloat, SPN is shifting its financial model away from  advertising (Britt sucks at sales) and towards community sponsorship. To build sponsorship for the next six months, SPN is running a new bi-annual $10K Do-Or-Die Fundraiser.

  • If SPN doesn’t achieve this goal by March 31, 2018, all funds will be returned to the sponsors. We consider other options, including the unspeakable.
  • If we do achieve or surpass the goal, we can stick around for another for six months (expect another fundraiser in September).

We’re on bended knee asking, “Please donate and keep SPN alive.”
