Support Local News in Maynard – Keep Our Community Informed!

We believe that a well-informed community is a stronger, more connected community. That’s why we are founding The Maynard News Network—a non-profit, volunteer-driven initiative dedicated to providing accessible, accurate, and non-partisan local news for Maynard, Massachusetts, and its surrounding communities.

For the past year and a half, we’ve been publishing a digital newsletter covering town meetings, school updates, community events, and local business news. But now, we’re ready to take the next step—and we need your help.

Why We’re Fundraising:

Local journalism is disappearing across the country, and Maynard is no exception. Without dedicated local news, important town decisions can go unnoticed, local businesses struggle to gain visibility, and our community loses an essential way to stay informed.

We’re raising $6,000 to help us:

Establish our non-profit status to sustain our work long-term

Expand our coverage and provide more in-depth stories

Upgrade our website to make news easier to access

Increase publishing frequency to provide more news, more often

Estimated Budget Breakdown:

501(c)(3) Establishment: $600-$800 (including legal and filing fees)

One-time Mailing to Maynard Households: $1,500-$2,000 (printing, postage)

Email Newsletter Platform (basic plan): $500

Website updates, add-ons, and maintenance: $1500

Initial Marketing and Promotion: $500

Other/Misc: $500

Why It Matters

Maynard deserves a trusted source of local news—one that keeps residents, business owners, and stakeholders informed about the issues that affect them most. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly support local journalism and help keep our community connected.
