You Can Make a Difference
Sponsoring the Athens County Independent is one way to fund our work, by helping us pay our staff and cover costs like running our website. Sponsorship is a tax-deductible charitation donation to Southeast Ohio Independent News, the nonprofit that publishes the Athens County Independent. We offer three tiers of sponsorship to suit your budget and marketing goals.
