As a news organization, it’s important that readers know where our funding comes from. Because we believe all gifts are equally important — and that Brookline.News is truly a community effort — we list here all donors, in alphabetical order without regard to giving level, who are making our efforts possible thus far as “Founding Donors.” Gifts are through August 2, 2023. We will update this list periodically.
If you would like your name added as a Founding Donor, make a gift now!
