We’re the only daily independent progressive news source in the Bay Area, and remain committed to our ideals of deeply reported news and arts coverage, a diversity of voices, unique takes on cultural events, and a dedication to our readers to counter “fake news.” Â

Btw the nonprofit’s name is San Francisco Progressive Media Center, not Company as the website says. You can also search by EIN: 463355789.
Thank you. By “daily” we mean we publish new stories every day.
The Foundation Center keeps track of these for pretty much every nonprofit, including us:

When you say that you are “the only daily independent progressive news source in the Bay Area” what do you mean by that, particularly the “daily” part?
To me a concept like “daily” only makes sense if you are printing a paper version. In that sense the Bay Guardian was weekly and the Chronicle and the Examiner are daily. Otherwise you are only “daily” in the sense that the site is available every day, like any website. From what I have seen you add stories when you have them rather than every single day.
There are other local sites and sources that have a left-wing angle. “Beyond Chron” is the obvious one (but doesn’t allow comments). “Fog City Journal” is another but seems to have gone quiet of late. And SFist, although derivative, takes a relentlessly liberal line.
Yours is the best overall, without a doubt. But it’s not the only one.
Before I donate, may I ask for a link to your IRS Form 990s? TIA
