Community Partnership Overview
Our reporting remains free and accessible thanks in part to community partners who believe a more informed city is a stronger one.
Why CFR
Our 25,000+ monthly readers are active, local and loyal.
Community Forward Redlands is a locally owned publication covering government, education and community life in Redlands. Our mission is simple: keep residents informed before decisions are made — not after.
Since 2023, we’ve relied on reader support and community partners to help keep our reporting free and accessible, because trusted local news should belong to the people it serves.
We’re grateful to the leaders who are making independent local news possible in Redlands.
