How To Support OCN
Individual gifts
There is no limit on the amount you can give to OCN and every dollar will be used to further our mission, which is to create a better informed and connected community through independent, public-service journalism that focuses on issues that residents told us matter to them.
Your contributions ensure that our critical work remains paywall free for the whole community. That means that you’re helping to make sure your neighbors, who might not be able to give, can access important local information for years to come. OCN believes that access to local information should be a right, not a privilege.
Monthly gifts
Making a monthly gift not only helps to keep our critical, independent work going and accessible to all, it also allows us to have predictable revenue, which significantly helps us achieve our vision, which is to build a sustainable, independent, local news ecosystem, giving everyone in Greater Oviedo and Winter Springs access to important local information that impacts their lives.
Matching Donations
Make a gift that will double the impact of your neighbors’ gifts during our seasonal campaigns, helping us to sustain our critical work that connects and informs the community by providing local events listings, reports on local government meetings and explores issues that readers tell us matter to them.
We have matching gift campaigns throughout the year: spring, summer, fall, and end of year. Contact us to earmark your gift for a seasonal campaign.
Major Giving
Your major gift has the power to underwrite public service journalism that creates a more informed, civically engaged community.
The funds we generate through major gifts are crucial to producing independent, in depth journalism that creates an impact in the community by increasing awareness, changing public policy and increasing civic engagement. Learn how you can help advance our critical work by reaching out to Megan Stokes, editor-in-chief.
