Nugget Community Journalism Supporting Subscription
What is a supporting subscription?
A supporting subscription is a way for readers who appreciate and enjoy The Nugget each week to directly support our coverage of the news of the Sisters community. The Nugget does not charge for individual copies of the newspaper, which is distributed by mail throughout Sisters Country and through shops and other establishments downtown.
Why are supporting subscriptions important?
The Nugget is an “advertiser supported newspaper,” which means our revenue comes from the ads businesses and individuals run each week. Our costs for printing and distribution (postage and fuel) continue to rise at unprecedented rates, and we cannot and will not completely pass those costs on to businesses who are also feeling the pinch of inflation and rising costs of doing business. By directly supporting the paper, our readers can help us continue to provide Sisters’ weekly paper to tell the important stories of our hometown.
Where does supporting subscription revenue go?
The Nugget relies on a robust cadre of freelance writers and photographers to cover the news and create the feature stories you read each week. Our freelancers are local folks who love to tell their community’s stories — and they are also professionals who are paid for their work. Funds from supporting subscriptions are allocated directly to paying our freelancers for their stories and photography.
How can I participate?
You choose the amount of support you wish to provide. Use the form here or you can mail a check to PO Box 698, Sisters, OR 97759 or stop by our office at 442 E. Main Ave. (we love to connect with our readers).

We value The Nugget! Sisters would be a very different, far less livable and enjoyable town were it not for The Nugget. It supports community building, social connection, and civic engagement.

Susan and I are delighted to support the outstanding work of The Nugget staff and this is a great way to keep abreast of latest local events when we are away.

In this climate of fake news, social media news and the loss of local newspapers, I want to see our incredible local Nugget newspaper continue to thrive. When I moved to Sisters a little over a year ago (as a recent widow), reading the Nugget to see all the activities (and there are MANY) around town, helped me immensely get "out there". As a result, I volunteer at the wonderful Habitat Thrift Store, volunteer at the Sisters Museum and now find myself on two community Boards. I love Sisters and a big part of that is staying abreast of all the goings on by reading The Nugget. Thank you to all the freelancers. My daughter happens to be a freelance editor so supporting this profession is a no brainer.

The Nugget was, and remains, one of the prime reasons we moved to and have settled in Sisters -- along with the Sisters Folk Festival, Paulina Springs Books, Roundhouse Foundation, The Barn, Funky Fauna Brewing and Fika Coffee. The Nugget just completes the community!
