Donors and founding members

Oviedo Community News is free to read because we believe that local information is a right, not a privilege. But it’s not free to produce.                                                                                                                                     
Professional journalists, copy editors and fact checkers, designers and more create this product that tens of thousands of Greater Oviedo and Winter Springs residents have come to rely on.       

The folks below believe in our mission and have made generous donations to fund this initiative. Consider joining this growing group and support local news!
