Imagine a Greater Greater Washington with even more diverse voices writing even more diverse stories. We want to make that happen in 2015, with blogger workshops to help new contributors publish with us.

Making it easier for more people (like you!) to blog with us will mean new ideas and perspectives, which we need to keep Greater Greater Washington relevant as our region changes and grows.

We’re hoping to accomplish a lot with this reader drive. Our goal is to raise $18,000 to keep going strong in 2015 (paying our wonderful part-time editor and keeping our servers running) and add new projects like the blogging workshops.

Many people don’t realize how many ways they can contribute to the Greater Greater Washington community. It can be overwhelming to even know where to begin. Blogging workshops will help us spread that information far and wide, expanding our community by broadening our contributor pool and deepening their skills.

Can you help with a contribution now? Otherwise, our ideas for 2015 will stay just ideas, not a reality. If you believe in what Greater Greater Washington is doing, please give $50 or whatever you can to make blogging workshops (and so much more!) happen. Thank you, and here’s to a greater greater 2015!
