Donate to GroundUp

With your help, we can hold those in power accountable and train the next generation of journalists.



Why donate to GroundUp?

We are a non-profit news agency, which means we rely on your donations to do our work. We donโ€™t run ads and our articles are always free to read. Plus, your donation is tax-deductible. With your support, we can continue to provide fair and accurate news from the ground up.


Who funds us?

Much of our funding is from institutional donors - but we need more of our readers to support us. For context, an everyday article costs R5,000 or so to publish. Thatโ€™s excluding rent, insurance, computers, cameras and all the other things you need to run a newsroom. Also, we sometimes get sued or taken to the press ombudsman. Even though we almost always win, we spend quite a bit on legal fees.

(By the way, we're independent, so while we appreciate all donations, donors don't have a say in what we publish.)
