Give to support The Urbanist
We’re launching our seasonal subscriber drive, complete with a limited run of Urbanist beanies for qualified donations. Plus, we’re hosting a scavenger hunt bike ride on Sunday, September 28 to celebrate The Urbanist and the community we’ve built.
This drive, we’re aiming for 80 new subscribers to help balance The Urbanist’s budget and insulate us from the ups and downs of ad revenue with steady, reliable support. As a nonprofit, every dollar we raise goes toward paying staff, bringing you the best coverage possible, and hosting events that connect our community. Become a member today.
Whether you sign up as a subscriber or chip in with a one-time gift, your support makes The Urbanist possible, and we’re grateful for your support. If you are already donating to The Urbanist, we encourage you to give more. Every dollar counts. Your generosity helps us build the world we all want to live in.
To claim your beanie, fill out this form and make a qualifying donation. We’ll get in touch and make sure you get your beanie. Make sure to order soon–this is a limited run, and we expect to sell out.
