Dear readers,
Amid all the turmoil wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic, we at The Daily are offering a new way for you to use our platform to support local businesses. Your favorite hidden coffee spot on Cal Ave? That ice cream shop you and your S.O. visited on your first date in downtown Palo Alto? “Adopt a Small Business” is a way for you to help support those local businesses AND local journalism by donating advertising space to your favorite Bay Area small businesses.
As more and more places open up, it’s important to get the word out. Help your favorite local spots let customers know they’re open by purchasing highly discounted advertising for them in The Stanford Daily!

Simply purchase any number of “Adopt a Small Business” packages below, and you’ll be taken to PayPal where you can submit your payment.
