Invest in Redlands: Support Independent Local News
Help keep our community informed — before decisions are made. Our reporting is free and accessible thanks to sponsors and readers who believe that a better informed city is a stronger one.
Why CFR
Our 25,000+ monthly readers are active, local, and loyal — the very people who support Redlands schools, businesses, and civic life.
Community Forward Redlands is the only locally owned news source covering City Hall, education, and community life in Redlands. Our goal is simple: keep residents informed before decisions are made — not after.
Since 2023, we’ve relied on reader support and sponsors to keep our reporting free and accessible — because trusted local news should belong to the people it serves.
