Support Southpoint Access: Subscribe, Sponsor, Donate

Friends, I’m taking a big swing - and I could use your help.

You’re reading Southpoint Access because you care about what’s happening in South Durham. I started this project with a simple belief: communities are stronger when we understand what’s happening close to home.

Most news today is national, polarized, and algorithm-driven. This is different - local, human, and rooted right here. Coverage of rezonings and schools. What that new road project really means. Who’s opening a shop down the street. The stories of your neighbors.

Here’s the honest part: I can’t grow this on $5 subscriptions alone. To expand coverage, pay local freelancers fairly, and keep important reporting free for everyone who needs it, I need help from people who believe in hyperlocal, non-corporate news.

If you value this work, here’s how you can keep it going:

• ✅ Chip in as a paid subscriber or donor - one-time or monthly makes a real difference.
• ✅ Share this with a neighbor who cares about South Durham.
• ✅ Connect me with ideas, foundations, local sponsors, or philanthropists who believe in community information.

Every contribution helps fund more shoe-leather reporting, more neighborhood stories, and more transparency at the local level. No hedge fund. No clickbait. Just South Durham.

I’m building this one neighbor at a time, and I believe in it with everything I have. South Durham deserves a strong, independent source of truth and connection. I’m making it happen—and I’d love your support.
