CHS SPRING SUBSCRIBER DRIVE — No paywalls, no logins, just community news for everyone

This is about as intrusive as we’ll get. No pledge breaks. No tote bags. Just a call for readers to please consider subscribing to CHS to help us pay writers and photographers to cover the neighborhood. Seven to ten thousand to sometimes double that people visit the site every day to read news and information about Capitol Hill, the Central District, and the city. But only about one in seven subscribe. We’re a solid little business but it gets tight if our subscriber total falls below the current tally — thanks to our 1,019 voluntary paying subscribers!

CHS is a voluntary, pay what you can subscription site. There are no required logins to get the news. There is no paywall. We believe in keeping it that way so everybody can be part of CHS’s news and information. If you can, please consider becoming a subscriber today at $1/$5/$10 a month to help CHS continue to provide community news. If you are already a volunteer subscriber, thanks for being part of CHS!

Tried to do a custom amount lower than the $5 amount which is the lowest available. System. Got all glitchy. I’ll try again later but wanted you to know not accepting my attempts to do a custom amount.

Sorry for the issues and thanks for the support. We’ve received quite a few custom amount subscriptions this week so it works. Thanks to the $9.99 folks! :)

I’ve been giving one whole dollar per month for years. I’ve tried to increase but couldn’t figure out how to do it on the site. I’ll try again, will go to $5 if it lets me!

I want to subscribe, but would rather do a one-time payment. How can I do that?

I sent a payment thru Zelle… but it appears there is no CHS account

Keep up the great work

You guys run a dang fine blog, and I don’t even live on Capitol Hill but I read it daily, so sure, I’ll pitch in… But I’ve spent twenty minutes trying to do business with Patreon, and that website is just a mountain of glitches.

Can we do this by PayPal?

How can I contribute if I can’t get a tote bag?
