The Fourth Estate has never been more essential to our country and community. This presale for membership in Comma’s “First Amendment Club” is for those who understand the importance of the amendment our nation’s founders purposely chose to list first and want to show support for local journalism across Eastern Washington and North Idaho. Depending on when you join, you will become the proud owner of a membership number that will memorialize just how early you supported this new 501c3.

At Comma Community Journalism Lab (Comma), every donor is a member of the First Amendment Club (1AC). Your support fuels investigative reporting, elevates diverse voices, mentors emerging journalists, and strengthens civic life across our region.

We are sustained by a community of supporters at every level. Gifts of all sizes move this work forward and make a meaningful difference. For those who choose to invest $1,000 or more annually, we are pleased to offer additional engagement opportunities and recognition as part of our leadership giving community.
