The news we report on has always been sourced, reported, edited and published right here in Colorado, except for those times that we’ve traveled out of state to bring you stories.
We are a public benefit corporation, which means we’re a for-profit company incorporated with a mission. Our mission is to provide our community with quality, non-partisan journalism and no paywall. To read our most recent annual report, visit coloradosun.com/annualreport. (Here are our past reports: 2019, 2020/2021)
The majority of The Sun’s funding comes directly from reader memberships, with additional revenue from business sponsorships, events and grants. More on how we accept sponsorships and our transparency rules can be found in our ethics policy.
Every dollar we receive goes directly toward supporting the journalism we produce. Period. Join us today.
We were fortunate to find partners interested in creating a new model for local journalism. Civil helped The Colorado Sun get started with some financial and technical backing. We no longer are partnered with them.
Below are some of the people, organizations and other entities that have helped The Colorado Sun.
