TRM Community Fund

Are you looking for a way to support The Real Mainstream, but you’re not a business or group that needs to advertise?

The TRM Community Fund is the way to go. You can donate once, or monthly, or every two months, or other arrangements — at any amount you choose. And every dollar counts.

Every dollar of your contribution will be put to use on behalf of our mission. Here are some examples:

• A $150 monthly donation raises enough annually to cover printing and mailing for two to three of our 12 print editions.
• A $100 monthly donation enables us to ensure weekly help curating the Calendars, so we can find more events, get them up earlier, and do even better helping you find things to do ONLINE AND IN PERSON in Illinois and Iowa.
• A $50 monthly donation covers the cost to compensate one or two writers and photographers that month.
• A $25 monthly donation raises enough annually to help us support another one or two groups with sponsorships, or paid ads in their programs.
• A $10 monthly donation covers most of the gas needed to visit potential advertisers and cover events that month.
• A $5 monthly donation raises enough annually to cover an ink cartridge and a ream of paper.

Please choose any option below to lend your support. As a TRM Community Supporter, you’ll receive an update at least annually on how your support was put to use, and the things we were able to provide or achieve with your help!
