Our donors are planning for the future of inewsource as a sustainable and viable organization.

With a seed gift from two of our valued and generous donors, we established an endowment fund at the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation. As it grows, the fund will provide annual support for both the current needs and long-term sustainability of inewsource.

Donations for the Endowment Fund can be sent directly to:

Checks should be made out to the “Rancho Santa Fe Foundation.” Please write “inewsource Endowment Fund” in the memo line.


Honoring the legacy of Jim Brown

May 26, 1933 – December 17, 2020

Thank you to the James Silberrad Brown Foundation for the largest legacy gift in our history. After graduating from San Diego State University with a degree in Management in 1967, Jim Brown worked as a Program Manager at General Dynamics Electronics before beginning a lifelong career in real estate. 

He was an accomplished entrepreneur and very active in the San Diego community, including as a supporter of inewsource with his wife Marilyn Creson Brown since our founding in 2009. 

Thanks to this legacy gift supporting strategic growth and audience engagement, inewsource will be able to honor Jim’s longstanding commitment to data-based, investigative journalism.
