How it Works
What is a Community Hero?
A Community Hero is any member of the community who donates to support the school — separate from a Business Hero, who is buying an advertisement.
Community Heroes can have their name recognized as a supporter on the website or remain anonymous.
Where does my money go?
Half of your contribution (after a small payment processing fee) goes directly to the school.
We encourage our partner schools to spend the revenue on the journalism program, but it is up to the school to decide how to spend donations.
The remaining money helps Patch High School News keep this service free for our partner schools. (Similar services cost hundreds to even thousands of dollars a year.)
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes, you can cancel your monthly payments at any time. Once you make your initial donation payment, we will email you a link to confirm your account.
After that, you can log in to your account at any time, click the three dots next to your contribution, click "Manage" and "Cancel".
Cancellation will be effective the next payment date that is at least 48 hours after you cancel. Make sure you click the prompt confirming your cancellation!
