Help us continue to serve you.
Every month, more than 300,000 people turn to West Side Rag for news about the Upper West Side. Our reporting helps neighbors stay informed and connected with their community. We chase the stories that shape daily life, from major community debates like the proposed 72nd Street bike lane to coverage of a sinkhole in Riverside Park.
We believe local news should be accessible to the entire community, whether you receive our daily free newsletter, visit the website every morning, check in on a restaurant opening or closing, or rely on the Rag to learn what is happening at this very moment just outside your door.
Producing quality local news takes time, work, and money. Ad sales don’t cover our costs, so we depend on the support of our readers to help bridge the gap.

Your donations go almost exclusively to paying our writers and reporters to dig for stories, attend meetings, speak with residents, business owners, and public officials, follow up on tips, review public records, take photographs, edit stories, and stay with an issue long after the first headline appears.
We are proud of the local news West Side Rag provides, and we want to ensure it remains a dependable part of the Upper West Side.
If West Side Rag helps you better understand and appreciate the Upper West Side, please consider lending your financial support. Recurring contributions, such as becoming a monthly or annual supporter, gives us a particularly reliable foundation, allowing us to plan ahead and sustain high-quality local coverage.
Your support helps us cover the Upper West Side as fully, thoughtfully, and independently as this community deserves.
I donated! Thanks for being awesome.
I would like to donate again, but wish to determine myself, when I give. I only see a button for “annually”. Could you please give an option for a one-time donation? Thank you!
Try again and push the one-time button. Thanks for trying.
Is it now tax deductible?
Not quite yet, which is why these funds are so important.
Donated. Thanks for your great newsletter.
I tried to give, but it got stuck on “processing” and I had to move on. I’ll try again later.
Don’t know whether my contribution went through. Complicated process.
I donated and accidentally processed it as annually versus one time. How do I correct this error.
I donated now. As others have suggested, the process can be a bit complicated but went through in the end. Thank you for providing quality journalism to the local community.
