A week ago, we launched our annual summer fundraiser with a simple message:

Trust starts close to home.

We asked Palm Springs readers to support independent local journalism during the slowest part of the year — when advertising revenue tightens but the work of covering the city continues every day.

Here’s where things stand today:

• 45 readers became supporters
• 75% of our goal has been reached
• Many readers say they are supporting us because they value our trustworthy reporting and The Post has become a vital part of their daily routine

If you already contributed, thank you.

Your support directly helps sustain consistent local reporting on the issues, meetings, development projects, and city decisions that shape Palm Springs.

If you’ve been meaning to contribute but haven’t yet, today is the final day of this campaign.

Here’s what reader support helps make possible:

Independent local journalism that stays focused on Palm Springs

We’re locally owned and editorially independent. Reader support allows us to focus on this community instead of chasing clicks or answering to corporate ownership.

Consistent coverage during the lean season

Summer is always financially tighter for local media. Reader support helps us maintain stable operations while continuing to cover the city every day.

Straightforward reporting people can trust

We believe local news works best when it’s calm, accurate, useful, and grounded in the community it serves. That’s the approach we’ve tried to bring to Palm Springs since 2021.

A local institution that stays present

The Palm Springs Post exists because readers here decided local journalism was worth supporting. Your support helps ensure it continues.

We’re not asking you to save journalism or solve the problems facing the media industry.

We’re simply asking you to help sustain the work of covering Palm Springs fairly, consistently, and independently.

Thank you for reading The Palm Springs Post.
