Thank you for your generous financial support during this critical time for the SGN and for your vote of confidence in the work we do. - Rick McKinnon

HUGE thanks to all our donors. (And I think I can speak for George, as well.) - Maggie Bloodstone

After 5 years occupying a space that was literally an office above a garage in the Central District, with these funds we were able to find a new smaller and cheaper space back in the heart of Capitol Hill. This has jump started us with contemporary format and now we are back in the neighborhood where it all began. - MK Scott

It has been a very good feeling to know that the SGN is greatly valued. Not only has everyone's contribution helped the SGN through some tough times, it has also ensured that 10's of thousands of international readers have access to LGBTQ information, from places such as Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Mozambique to Egypt. What we have achieved in rights in the USA is often used as a model for others. Over 16 years of the SGN available to anyone around the world! You as a donor, have ensured we can continue in this very important role. I greatly thank you. - Barry Thorsness, SGN Webmaster

What a hard year it's been, between the pandemic, the fight for racial justice, a grueling election campaign, and of course, losing George Bakan. Thank you, though, for one bright spot: helping to sustain a unique and long-lasting Seattle institution, the Seattle Gay News, in an already difficult media environment. - Richard Isaac

If it truly takes a Village, I'll happily be The Village Idiot. Thank you all for keeping George Bakan's vision alive! - Tom Orr
