Our mission is simple: to report on stories before decisions are finalized, empowering residents to engage in their community.

Our Reach: CFR reaches more than 25,000 monthly readers and over 2,000 newsletter subscribers. Plus thousands through our social media channels.

In 2025, Community Forward was recognized as a Business of Distinction by the office of Senator Eloise Gómez Reyes and is a proud member of LION Publishers, a national network of independent newsrooms.

How it works:

We don’t have a paywall, because trusted local news should belong to the people it serves. Instead, we encourage readers to pay what they can:

We also rely on local sponsorships and grants to keep our reporting free and accessible.
