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.
