Contribute

Your financial contributions to the News Review are most gratefully received, but you should know that they are NOT tax-deductible as we are a worker cooperative and not designated by IRS as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. 

We have alternative methods:

  1. Check:  This is preferred as we do not have subtract from it for a payment processor.  Make it out to Greenbelt News Review and send to Greenbelt News Review, Suite 100, 15 Crescent Road, Greenbelt, MD 20770.  Checks may also be handcarried to the office during its open hours of 2 to 4 p.m. Monday and Tuesday or dropped in the door slot at any other time.
  2. Zelle: Send to Business@Greenbeltnewsreview.com and add the word Contribution to the message.
  3. Square:  Enter the amount you wish to contribute in the box below and click on confirm.  You will be transferred to the Square system to make payment. 


Action is not final until you click on SUBMIT.

The News Review aims to operate in a break even mode – we are not a profit-making business but a public service.  As a cooperative, we do not qualify as a 501(c)(3) organization and gifts to us are not, therefore, tax deductible.  Advertising revenue isn’t always enough and our reserves continue to struggle with shortfalls.  

We would be delighted to receive contributions directly from you and also to be remembered in your will.  Much of the work on the newspaper is carried out by volunteers but we must still pay for rent, printing, and some personnel who provide skills for which we cannot rely on volunteers – like InDesign.  We are able to secure grant funding for some initiatives, but such grants tend to fund projects (like our recent archive upgrade) and not boring things like running costs. 

Any amount, no mattter how small, is much appreciated and each of us working each week to get this baby out there is gratified by the vote of confidence and thanks from members of the community.
