Its funded through grants, sponsorships and donations. The project has gone on to help launch sites that include the Branford Eagle (www. newhavenindependent.org/index.php/bran- ford/) in 2006 and Valley Independent Senti- nel (www.valley.newhavenindependent.org) in 2009, covering the lower Naugatuck Valley. Last August, the Independent launched a non- profit community radio station in New Haven, WNHH, a low-power FM station at 103.5 that shares Independent news, staff and its news- room, and is available in formats that include on-air, streaming on the web and podcasts. The station also is a partnership with the Spanish paper La Voz, which shares an office with the Independent. His site gets about 150,000 unique visitors a month and Bass sees radio as helping fuel growth. "We're not looking for fast big growth, it's always been a steady march," Bass said. "We care more about the difference we make than the metrics." Doug Hardy, business manager for the online site CTNewsJunkie.com and partner in the site with his wife and editor, Christine Stuart, who bought the site in 2006 (a year after its launch), credits the Online Journal- ism Project and Bass for their early support of NewJunkie, which is for-profit. CTNewsJunkie's coverage includes state politics, public policy, courts and health care, and averages just less than 200,000 page views a month and about 50,000 unique visi- tors a month, Hardy said. It didn't sell an advertisement until it began emailing a weekly newsletter about eight years ago, he said. It also sells its content, seeks volun- tary subscriptions, holds reader fundraisers and sells listings in its professional directory. "At the end of the day, the connections that you make with businesses, or foundations or other funders are really the magic button to bring in revenue," Hardy said. "You have to make connections whether it's for-profit or nonprofit, you still have to sell." n Nonprofit News serving Greater Hartford (Ranked by assets for fiscal year 2014) Rank Foundation Assets Revenue/ expenses Top executive/ title Year founded 1 Connecticut Health Foundation Inc. 100 Pearl St., Hartford, CT 06103 860-724-1580; www.cthealth.org $109,668,949 $13,712,453 $6,056,424 Patricia Baker President & CEO 1999 2 American Savings Foundation Inc. 185 Main St., New Britain, CT 06051 860-827-2556; www.asfdn.org $85,764,593 $4,445,964 $4,597,631 David Davison President & CEO 1995 3 The Donaghue Medical Research Foundation 18 N.
