THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING NEWSMATCH
When NewsMatch 2018 launched last November, 155 nonprofit news organizations joined in a shared call-to-action: Stand up for journalism that strengthens democracy. Over the past two months, they were joined by tens of thousands of individuals across the country who donated to nonprofit news, ensuring the stories they care most about will get told in 2019.
NewsMatch is still tallying the numbers from this year's campaign and will announce the final amount raised next month. But feedback from newsrooms and data from NewsMatch.org makes it clear that millions of dollars have been raised, making 2018 another record-breaking year. From coast to coast, donors embraced NewsMatch, and with it, the idea that giving to journalism will be a core part of their charitable giving now and in the future.
Our deepest thanks to the funders, donors, newsrooms and everyone else who helped make NewsMatch once again a success!
