Score a beer with Tim Redmond!

Help us meet $30K in matching funds, and even score a 1-on-1 with our founder and editor extraordinaire

HELP US MEET $30K IN MATCHING FUNDS! YOUR DONATION COUNTS 2-FOR-1. 

Donate $1000 or more and score a beer with 48 Hills editor Tim Redmond!  (He enjoys Bud Light but we’ll make sure other options are on the table as well.)

When we started 48 Hills 10 years ago, we embarked on a quest to save local, independent media. Since then, the media environment has continued to be decimated by billionaire owners, corporate buy-outs, mainstream chain incursions, and “start-ups” that are really just mouthpieces for even more billionaires.

What we’ve accomplished, with your support, is grow 48 Hills from a tiny blog into a small-but-strong powerhouse outlet of news reporting, political commentary, and support for local arts and culture. 

We put every penny you’ve donated back into the local ecosystem by paying local journalists, writers, editors, designers, web hosts, developers, and services. We’ve directed hundreds of thousands of people to emergency funds, local organizations in need, vital arts events, and everything that keeps the soul of San Francisco alive. 

When we say “we,” we mean you, too. We can’t do this without your support. Our means of survival is not some billionaire’s play money or Wall Street-wealthy family dynasty. Ads from local businesses and organizations, non-profit grants, and individual donations are the only things that power 48 Hills. We’re so proud of what we’ve built, and we want to keep growing. 

HELP US MEET $30,000 IN MATCHING FUNDS BY SEPTEMBER 28 AND HELP US SURVIVE AND GROW! DONATE HERE. 

We are calling on our community to step up and help us continue as one of the only independent voices in the Bay Area to tell it like it is, and how it is. Thank you so much for your continued support! Please tell your friends, and subscribe to our daily newsletter if you haven’t already. 

$1000 or more donors will score a beer-date with Tim Redmond. We will reach out to you with more details once your donation has been received!

—Tim, Imelda, Marke, and the 48 Hills team 

48 Hills welcomes comments in the form of letters to the editor, which you can submit here. We also invite you to join the conversation on our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
