In 2014, your support created direct opportunity for our vendors while we fought for increased survival solutions for Seattle’s most poor.n Our award-winning journalism contributed to the expansion of the

Seattle City Light’s low-income Utilities Discount Program and to the defeat of Stepping Forward, the Seattle Housing Authority’s plan to increase rents for public housing residents.

n We tripled the number of Homeless Speakers Bureau engagements, trained new vendor advocates, and built low-income leadership for the future.

n Our OutsideIN pressure campaign led to new emergency shelter solutions from both the City Council and the Mayor.

n Our dedicated readers put more than a million dollars directly into the pockets of our vendors.

Thank you, to each of the 1,817 donors who make our success possible. Every gift matters. Every person counts.

Real Change is a quality newspaper, organizing project and low barrier economic opportunity. Real Change works.

Every month, more than 300 homeless and low-income people earn money and build confidence by selling Real Change. We bring you community voices you won’t hear elsewhere and qual-ity in-depth reporting on stories often left out of other papers.

Real Change is reader supported in the same way that public radio and TV are listener and viewer supported. Last year more than 1,600 people helped make Real Change work even better by donating and volunteering.
