Ask & Incentivize “When you’re running a nonprofit news organization, it can seem like you’re always asking people for money.
The reality is, you might not be asking them often enough.
We made significant strides with our membership program at the San Francisco Public Press this year. Along the way, we learned that we weren’t giving our supporters enough different opportunities to support our brand of local public-interest journalism.”
Lila LaHood, Publisher, SF Public Press
