Get Involved
The Dark Roast Report team works endlessly to be a reliable news source for the Texoma community, supported by the community. Whether you are a reader who wants to make a one-time donation or a local business who believes in our mission, we have various ways to make supporting us accessible to anyone who is able.
As a nonprofit, the only way we can produce the amount of work at our quality, is entirely dependent on the support we receive.
Both founders of the Dark Roast have seen the barriers being for-profit creates for journalistic integrity. From the beginning, the Dark Roast's mission has been solely to inform and positively impact the community, not to prioritize monetary gain.
Supporting independent investigative journalism is more than just giving money; it’s advocating for holding entities of power accountable. We refuse to put our main content behind a paywall because we believe everyone has the right to be informed on what’s going on in their community.
Below are a few ways you can get involved:
Tax-deductible Donation
Dark Roast Report is a proud partner of Tiny News Collective. Through this partnership, you can now make tax-deductible donations.
