Do you enjoy an independent perspective? Has media convergence and the ever-diminishing number of indy media voices got you down?
Bringing you in-depth analysis and reporting from an alternative viewpoint is no easy task. Canadian Dimension is published with no strings attached – no corporations, no politicians, no media moguls dictate the information that fills each issue. How refreshing. Instead, it’s the support of our readers that allows us to keep digging up stories that you won’t hear about anywhere else.
Every year, up to 45% of our operating budget comes to us in the form of donations from our readers. That’s half the magazines we publish in a year! These donations help pay for phone bills, printer repairs and honorariums for some of our writers, photographers and graphic artists. Our supporters are part of everything we do.
If you want to join the ranks of our supporters, or if you already support the magazine and want to do more, here’s how.
Join the CD400 club
The CD400 is a group of sustaining supporters who contribute $10 - $20 to the magazine each month through an automatic payment through their banking institution. That’s the equivalent of the price of lunch, or a movie for two! This monthly income has become the lifeblood of our magazine – because of those regular donations, we are able to look ahead and plan changes and improvements to the magazine knowing that we can rely on a steady monthly income.
To join, visit our online store to arrange a monthly pre-authorized donation to be debited from your VISA or Mastercard. Or, click here to register for a monthly pre-authorized donation to be debited from your bank account.
