Support Local Media. Support Marion.
Become a Marion Live Founding Sponsor
Marion Live exists to document what’s actually happening in Marion County—arts, food, entertainment, events, programs, and the people behind them.
​
Our sponsor program is not pay-for-coverage.
Editorial decisions stay independent. Always.
Right now, we’re opening a Founding Sponsor window with intentionally low pricing to reflect the current economic reality in Marion County.
These rates will not last forever.
