Support Inside Sacramento
For 30 years, Inside Sacramento has delivered community-centered civic journalism to Sacramento neighborhoods, documenting the people, places, policies, arts, businesses and nonprofit organizations that shape daily life. The publication was founded in 1996 to fill a gap in consistent neighborhood-level reporting that larger metropolitan news outlets often overlooked.
Today, Inside Sacramento remains free to readers and delivered to 80,000 Sacramento homes each month. But small-business advertising alone can no longer sustain the level of independent local reporting our community needs. Through the Sacramento Civic Journalism Project, in partnership with nonprofit Friends of East Sacramento, readers and supporters can help preserve this essential civic resource.
Why Support Matters
Inside Sacramento strengthens community connection, promotes transparency, supports local culture and nonprofits, and preserves Sacramento’s neighborhood history.
