​Thanks for your interest in becoming a supporter of Public Address. For many years, voluntary subscriptions and contributions have been an important source of revenue that keeps us going strong. Our readers help us achieve some cool stuff, and we want to expand on that.

This is your invite to join us on an exciting new project. We’ve recently begun using PressPatron, a Kiwi crowdfunding platform for supporting blogs and journalism websites. It’ll also give publishers like me a much better connection with supporters like you.

Our PressPatron campaign is focused on helping us fund our ongoing expenses, so that we can keep doing what we do best. We’re also hoping to generate funding for some deeper journalism projects, and help cover the costs of redesigning our website.

If you’d like to become a supporter, simply click the red button above. You’ll have the option of making a one-time or monthly contribution to Public Address.
​
Cheers,
Russell Brown
Founder/Publisher

What is PressPatron?

Public Address has partnered with PressPatron, a Kiwi crowdfunding platform that makes it easy to support blogs and journalism websites. Please be aware that PressPatron is at the beta stage of its launch, and their team are continuing to make improvements. Their platform is fully functional, but you might notice some minor bugs. They’d love to hear your feedback, and can be contacted here.

Is my payment secure?

Payments made via PressPatron are securely processed using an SSL connection with 256-bit AES encryption. The underlying payment infrastructure is provided by Stripe, a leader in online payments who provides credit card processing for companies such as Facebook, Twitter, Xero, Kickstarter, and others.

All credit card data is encrypted and Stripe maintains strict administrative, technical, and physical procedures to protect your information. More info about Stripe’s security policies can be viewed here. PressPatron does not collect or store your credit card number within their own database.

How can I manage my payment preferences?

Once you have contributed, you will be given the option of creating a PressPatron account to manage your payment preferences. Your supporter dashboard will provide you an overview of your contributions, as well as an interface for editing your payment details. If you already have an account, you can login here.
