For 36 years, C-VILLE Weekly has been your award-winning source for free (!) local news and arts content. We’ve never asked you to buy a subscription, we’ve never blocked access to our stories with a pesky paywall.
But, across the country, small weekly papers are struggling to stay funded in order to stay free—and we’re no different. As local journalism faces increasing financial pressure, reader support plays a crucial role in keeping this work alive and accessible.
We are proud to operate with a fiscal sponsorship from the Alternative Newsmedia Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports independent media. This partnership allows us to accept tax-deductible donations that go directly toward sustaining our journalism.
Your support helps fund:
In-depth reporting on local issues
Arts, culture, and events coverage
Fair pay for writers, photographers, and designers
Continued investment in our digital and print platforms
Contributions of any size make a difference.
By supporting C-VILLE Weekly, you’re investing in independent reporting, creative voices, and a more informed Charlottesville.
If free, independent news is important to you, please consider a gift of $5, $10, or whatever you can afford. Together, we can ensure that local stories continue to be told—thoughtfully, independently, and with care.
