— Grounders Source, the independently operated media outlet recognized as one of the most trusted fan-driven news platforms for the CW sci-fi drama The 100, has expanded its community support program to ensure continued content delivery, site maintenance, and exclusive fan experiences. The outlet invites its global readership to contribute through multiple support options now available at grounderssource.com
Founded in 2014 by Evelyn Ulrich, a writer and digital content creator with a BA in digital imagery and creative writing, Grounders Source has grown from a personal fan project into a professionally operated media outlet that attracts over 1 million monthly visits. The site delivers news coverage, cast updates, episode recaps, convention coverage, podcasts, fan-contributed content, and original editorial features to an international audience of The 100 fans.
Why Community Support Matters for Independent Fan Media
Unlike corporate-backed entertainment outlets, Grounders Source is run entirely by a single individual. The site operates on a lean budget that covers essential expenses, including domain renewals, web hosting, site maintenance, software upgrades, shipping and materials for giveaways, and promotional efforts that keep The 100 community connected and informed.
These operational costs represent a consistent monthly commitment that has historically been funded largely out of Ulrich’s personal income. The expanded support program provides fans with a direct way to contribute to the platform’s sustainability while receiving exclusive content and recognition in return.
How Fans Can Support Grounders Source
The support page at Grounders Source offers multiple contribution options designed to accommodate fans at every level. Contributors gain access to exclusive content not available to general visitors, as well as recognition within the Grounders Source community. Every contribution, regardless of size, goes directly toward sustaining the outlet’s operations and enabling continued coverage of The 100 cast, conventions, and community events.
Supporters can also contribute through Patreon, where pledges start at just one dollar per month. Patreon supporters help fund high-quality articles, exclusive editorial content, print advertisements for the site, contest and giveaway prizes, and ongoing platform improvements. In return, patrons receive tiered rewards and access to content created exclusively for the supporter community.
A Decade of Trusted Coverage and Community Building
Since its founding in 2014, Grounders Source has established direct connections with The 100’s cast and crew while building an engaged international fandom community. The outlet’s coverage spans seven seasons of episode recaps and analysis, cast interviews and career updates, convention reporting from events across North America and Europe, original podcasts, fan art and fan article features, and regular giveaways that have included signed merchandise and official show materials.
The site maintains a strict editorial policy rooted in professionalism, respect, and transparency. All content is original and copyrighted, and the platform operates as a designated safe space where fans can engage without negativity, harassment, or discriminatory behavior.
Grounders Source has been featured in Digital Journal and continues to expand its reach through active social media channels on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Vimeo.
