THRIVE! Magazine is Your City's Biggest Fan. We are the magazine about good people, companies, and organizations leading the way for a brighter future in Western New York. We are also a magazine with a cause. We raise money through advertising and subscriptions for non-profits, schools, and charities that are doing good in our community. We like to think of ourselves, our advertisers, partners, and contributors as a collaboration of business people, educators, leaders, and volunteers working together to make Western New York the most beautiful and attractive place to live and work.

THRiVE! began in 2007 as values based magazine focusing on city revitalization through service, social justice, arts, business, faith and culture offering relevant solutions to urban issues including injustice, violence, poverty, economic depression, and crime. We have been publishing and evolving ever since. Our editorial content celebrates Buffalo's successes and builds up our community with relevant, timely articles that speak into our culture with a timely message. We also don't shy away from the negative either. With well thought out essays, we confront things that need to change and talk about how we can work toward change in our region.

THRiVE! is a voice in our community. If you are interested in writing, find out more here.
