The crowdstacking alliance strategy transforms independent media supporters from passive donors into active investors who build collective wealth while sustaining journalism. By partnering outlets like Efecto Cocuyo with others from the alliance, the model creates a unified platform where readers contribute small amounts that are pooled and professionally invested. Rather than subscriptions that disappear after consumption, these contributions accumulate as shared capital that generates returns over time—funding operations through investment income while preserving the principal.
