Broad Street Review looks forward to serving our readers throughout the year. We need your help to power our summer 2026 coverage!
BSR’s coverage has always been up to our readers. So we ask you directly: do you enjoy our journalism? Do you want our coverage to continue at its current level? If so, our future is in your hands. There are two ways you can support BSR: through a one-time donation of any size, or the automatic monthly donation of your choice.
If you give $60 or more annually (either in $5/month automatic payments, or a one-time gift), you’ll join the Friends of BSR, receiving free or deeply discounted admission to BSR events, invitations to our writers’ meetups, and special discounts and giveaways throughout the year. If you give $240 or more (either $20/month automatic payments, or a one-time gift), you’ll join the Local Media Champions, who get all the benefits of Friends, plus exclusive meetups with the editors, early access to special BSR content, and the pride of powering the independent journalism Philly’s cultural scene deserves.
BSR is a small nonprofit with very little overhead. Our fully remote, part-time team works hard every week to bring you the arts coverage you enjoy. The vast majority of our budget directly funds our freelance writers’ pay. And much of our budget comes from individual readers like you, who continue to ensure our financial and journalistic independence.
The vast majority of our March 2026 Readers Decide campaign to secure our spring coverage was powered by small donors. These gifts added up quickly: with an average donation size of just $40, we raised $10,000 in less than three weeks. This is a record for our organization, and a much-needed boost for our passionate but under-funded team. But the work continues, and you still have the opportunity to make a gift that will fund our summer coverage and keep our writers paid.
Our donors are an important part of the BSR community, and we like to foster an ongoing connection that honors your support of our work long after you hit the donate button. So you decide! If you want to keep our coverage going, chip in to power our writers and editors today, and tell your network about this opportunity to ensure the survival of Philly arts journalism.
