Introducing NewsMatch HQ!
This year we will be sharing all of our resources on this NewsMatch microsite. It is a work in progress and more content will be added leading up to the campaign. Take a look, but pardon our dust in certain areas that are under construction.
We will let you know every time something new is added.

Building out your NewsMatch.org profile
NewsMatch.org is the central website where the public can look up participating newsrooms and make donations to multiple organizations at once. If you had a page last year, you can log in anytime to update your page. If this is your first NewsMatch, you'll need to create a new profile for your organization.
Instructions for both new and returning organizations can be found in the Campaign HQ.
