Two simple words: THANK YOU. These two words are simple and meek; however, they cannot fully express the depth of gratitude we feel for the outpouring of support we’ve received for this December’s fundraising campaign.

As of press time, we have raised nearly $18,000 to cover our operating expenses in 2025. We have been humbled at the outpouring of support this year from various people across the community.

Whether you supported our fundraiser at the town’s Christmas Celebration, or if you dropped your spare change in a collection box at a local store, or if you gave through Venmo, Zeffy, Paypal or by check, we are incredibly thankful and grateful.

In 2025, we are planning to expand our grant writing and fundraising efforts. We are exploring cash raffle tickets, pancake breakfasts, a community dinner, and grant writing throughout the entire year. If you’re a local business and are interested in partnering with us for advertising, we have extensive reach across central New Mexico, with our top readers living in Questa NM, Cerro NM, Costilla NM, Amalia NM, Albuquerque NM, Santa Fe NM, Taos NM, Amarillo TX, Pueblo CO, Las Vegas NM, Rio Rancho NM, Red River NM, and Espanola NM. Every 28 days, our digital content garners upward of 200,000-250,000 views.

Our journalism is deeply invested in representing the community, giving our people a voice and a platform to tell their stories, document their history, and pave their future being fully represented. We would love to work with you, partner with you, hear from you, and join with you as we move forward into 2025.

May you and your loved ones have a wonderful, prosperous New Year filled with very few tribulations and many, many blessings.
