In January, 47 people were signed up to make monthly donations. That number spiked to 83 by October. The increase is making a difference. Monthly donations brought in $458 in January. In October, such donations brought in $853.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_383420\"  class=\"wp-caption module image alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 336px;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-383420\" src=\"http:\/\/nmpolitics.net\/index\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Haussamen-Heath-336x252.jpg\" alt=\"Heath Haussamen\" width=\"336\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nmpolitics.net\/index\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Haussamen-Heath-336x252.jpg 336w, https:\/\/nmpolitics.net\/index\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Haussamen-Heath-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/nmpolitics.net\/index\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Haussamen-Heath-771x578.jpg 771w, https:\/\/nmpolitics.net\/index\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Haussamen-Heath-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/nmpolitics.net\/index\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Haussamen-Heath.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 336px) 100vw, 336px\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Heath Haussamen<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Now we need 17 more people to sign up to make monthly donations by Dec. 31, which will ensure a stable source of approximately $1,000 in revenue each month as we move into 2018.<\/p>\n<p>NMPolitics.net is working hard to bring you local and state news, in-depth reporting you won\u2019t find anywhere else, ideologically diverse commentary, and a safe and productive space for discussion. If you\u2019re not already a donor, I need you to join <a href=\"http:\/\/nmpolitics.net\/index\/2017-funding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the folks who are helping fund our work<\/a>. Sign up to make automatic, monthly donations <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nmpolitics.net\/index\/donate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I believe news and information should be open and accessible regardless of ability to pay. So instead of requiring a subscription to access NMPolitics.net\u2019s content, I ask that you give what you can afford.<\/p>\n<p>One donor from Socorro gives $3 each month. Others from Las Cruces and Albuquerque each give $50 every month. Most people can afford to give something \u2013 and news organizations can\u2019t do the work you expect from us without funding.<\/p>\n<p>One-time donations, advertising revenue and payments from news organizations that republish our work also help fund NMPolitics.net \u2013 but recurring monthly donations are our most stable source of revenue, and one we need to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Please, help us.
