The Maynard Advantage is growing!
The Maynard News Network is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting local journalism in Maynard, Massachusetts, and its surrounding communities. Our mission is to provide accessible, accurate, and non-partisan information to residents, business owners, and stakeholders. We believe local journalism is vital to maintaining a strong democracy and fostering civic engagement.
We are committed to delivering timely and reliable news, including coverage of town meetings, school updates, community events, and local business news. Our goal is to keep the community informed, connected, and engaged.
Here are some of the things your support will help to offer our readers as we grow:
More content!
There’s so much that happens in town that is relevant to you and your life, and we want you to know about it! We will be expanding our current coverage of things like local government, small businesses, upcoming events, and other things “around town,” but are also hoping to add things like remembrances, a police blotter, and columns from local volunteers, to name just a few.
A new and improved website!
We are working on updating our website. An updated website allows not just for easier navigation but will allow our readers to quickly access and search only the content they want. Do you just want to read about what’s happening in Town Hall? We’re going to make it easier for you to access all the current and past articles quickly and in one place.
More frequent publishing!
Currently we publish once a month but we want to be able to get more information to you more often. As we grow our volunteers and improve our site, we will be able to get you relevant information even more frequently. Our goal is to eventually have a weekly publication so you can be up to date all from one place!
How you can help:
We’ve launched a GoFundMe to raise the funds needed to grow our operations, build our nonprofit foundation, and bring all of this to life. Already donated or not in a position to give? Please consider sharing our mission and our GoFundMe page in any place you can. Share our mission and our GoFundMe page on social media, with neighbors, or through any local networks you’re part of. The more people who hear about this, the more momentum we build.
Thank you for being part of this exciting next step. We’re so grateful to have you as a reader and supporter, and we can’t wait to see where this next chapter takes us!
