Spot.Us is a nonprofit platform to pioneer “community powered reporting.”
Through Spot.Us the public can support journalists and newsrooms to do reporting on important and perhaps overlooked topics. Contributions are tax deductible and we partner with news organizations to distribute content under appropriate licenses.
Community members can also take a survey from our foundation sponsors, when available, to support the story of their choice at no cost. (…)
Spot.Us was founded by David Cohn and made possible by a generous grant from the Knight Foundation and the sheer brilliance of CTO Erik Sundelof. Spot.Us has also drawn on support from individual funders like yourself, a fantastic network of advisors, designers and developers. In 2011 Spot.Us became a part of American Public Media and their pioneering Public Insight Network project.
