Common Dreams
Common Dreams is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit governed by a board, with no equity owner. It says it is funded by pooled reader contributions plus disclosed nonprofit-foundation support.
The outlet discloses no advertising, data sales or corporate sponsors. Its foundation support and donor dependence remain material context even without shareholder control.
