Many of our readers have asked me how they can help support Noozhawk. I always tell them to support our advertisers and to let our advertisers know they’re supporting them because of us. Still, a few of you have persistently made the case that those who were in a position to help grow Noozhawk might well be willing to do so.

Here’s your chance.

The Hawks Club is a way for those of you who care most about what we’re doing to help us continue to expand our pioneering experiment in community journalism. In just a year, we’ve made tremendous progress, providing first-rate professional reporting on issue after issue while involving more and more of the community in telling its stories. But our wings are itching to fly a little faster and a whole lot farther.

We realize this is a lot to ask and we appreciate your consideration. For those of you who are able and willing to contribute, please know that we will be eternally grateful. That’s not nearly enough, however, so we’ll also list your name on our Hawks Club page in appreciation for what you’ve done for us.

We’re also aware that not all of our devoted readers are able to contribute at these levels. We’re planning to offer Hawks Club annual memberships at a more modest contribution amount, so check back with us for those details.

It is a privilege for us to cover the community we love as much as you do, and we are humbled at the enthusiasm you’ve shown for our efforts to bring high-quality journalism to Santa Barbara and Goleta. We spend everything we have on getting news to you and, with your continued help, we can do even more.


The Hawks Club accepts checks, credit-card contributions and even cash. Personal contributions to Noozhawk are not deductible as charitable donations.

Thank you for your support and consideration.

Sad to hear that Noozhawk is in financial trouble. I enjoyed it while it lasted

[Editor’s note: Thanks for your concern. Who said we were in financial trouble? We’re casting a wider net so we can accelerate our expansion and take advantage of market conditions.]

Has any one actually fallen for this? I thought when companies were “casting a wider net so [they] can accelerate [their] expansion ...” typically seek investors not donors.

[Editor’s note: Gosh, thank you so much for sharing this extremely helpful information. What do we owe you?]
