Support

Reader funding keeps Tampa Monitor independent. Give once or monthly — Stripe handles the payment, so we never see your card.

The single biggest way you can support my work is to continue reading. Taking what I’ve shared and use it to help make a better Tampa. Look out for those left behind and confused by the process. Do good.

The second biggest way you can support my work is to share. If you find something useful, let your neighbors know.

If you would like to contribute financially, there are a couple of ways to do that. Please note, no personal or financial information is saved on this site, Stripe, the preeminent platform for online transactions, handles the secure processing of your contribution.

Reader-funded and independent. Every contribution keeps the reporting going.

Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Tampa Monitor never sees or stores your card details.

Already a monthly supporter? Manage or cancel your subscription → Enter the email you donated with and Stripe sends you a one-time passcode — no account or password needed.

New: it was suggested I add Venmo. @tampamonitor

Finally, if you are interested in sponsoring the newsletter or Land Use Map get in touch. I am also available for web and technology consulting.

You can still use the original platform used by the site, Buy Me a Coffee, the funds go to the same account.
