(CLICK ON EACH IMAGE BELOW TO DONATE TO A SPECIFIC CAMPAIGN)

The VNN app is a first-of-its-kind social news media platform moderated by AI technology and a community flagging system.

Journalists and affiliates get 50 percent of the display ad revenue generated on the stories they contribute to the VNN app. Once the first phase of the platform is paid off, that revenue share increases to 90 percent.

VNN is expanding our partner journalist count across the U.S. Please share in our celebration by helping us supply them with much needed resources such as email accounts and business cards, and equipment such as tripods and microphones to help them serve their communities. Our network depends on community support to keep going. In return, we share stories in our communities you won’t hear anywhere else.

Will you pledge 100 pennies per month to sponsor local news?

According to the latest data, there are a little over 209 million people aged 18 or older living in the United States. If all of them signed up to donate one penny a month to VNN, we would be able to afford more than $25 million dollars of annual local news coverage.

Unfortunately, the smallest payment amount we are able to accept on any platform is $1.00, or 100 pennies. We know that 100 of your hard-earned pennies is a lot to ask for. But every penny we receive goes to funding local news in our communities.
