In partnership with the Alternative Newsweekly Foundation (https://altnewsfoundation.org/), financial gifts in support of Little Village are tax deductible.
Your donations help us fulfill our public service mission in three key ways:
1. SUPPORTING ARTS JOURNALISM: Charitable donations to Little Village support arts reporting, including dozens of artist profiles, hundreds of event previews, and thousands of event listings on one of Iowa's most relied upon events calendars – https://littlevillagemag.com/events/
Attendance at cultural events is not only essential to the continued sustainable operation of Iowa's arts presenting venues, it is also among the most important drivers of the state's overall economy, impacting adjacent industries like dining and retail, and many more. When it comes to fostering quality of life and making Iowa's communities better places to live, work, and play, supporting the arts is a great place to start.
2. FUNDING LOCAL & STATE GOVERNMENT REPORTING: Charitable donations to Little Village support local and state government reporting costs, raising awareness of important issues and helping to inform participation in democracy. In the independent, alternative media tradition, Little Village publishes reporting that not only documents key issues, but advocates for and improves communities. Local and state government reporting is focused on issues like quality healthcare and education, affordability and access, and environmental, racial, gender, labor and economic justice.
Investigations currently underway include environmental impact of corporate agriculture, the transformation of K-6 schools since 2017, which has seen the state intervening on funding and subject matter more than ever before, and the state level preemption of local government, limiting Iowa communities' legal pathways to local decision making.
3. SUPPORTING PRODUCTION COSTS: Maintaining free access for all to the news, culture and event information published by Little Village carries significant costs. Your charitable donation supports the printing, distribution and racking costs that keep this free publication readily available at over 800 locations in 35 Iowa towns and cities, and the website hosting and development costs that make access to daily coverage and an archive stretching back to 2001 online with free access for all, with no paywalls.
