Orange Media Network has undergone some recent realignments, including in the advising structure. 

Due to these adjustments, the two of us--who are editors with OMN--have concerns about accessing funds for a story that affects our organization but need to pay for a FOIA request. 

This funding will help us secure records that we need for the story. All expenditures will be tracked and receipts will be available for accountability. 

We believe in the fundamentals of journalism, our jobs in the industry and are committed to seeking truth while minimizing harm to serve our community. 

All donations will go directly to us to pay for the request, and are welcomed and appreciated as full financial support will allow us to do our jobs to the best of our ability. We appreciate your time and support for student media and journalists across the country.
