How to Submit Your Post-Match Report
In order to receive your match, we need to know how much you’ve raised! Please download the match cover sheet from your Resources folder and fill it out. Then return to Submittable, log in with the account you originally used for your NewsMatch application, and complete the new Post-Match Report.

Detailed instructions can be found in the Post-Match Reporting Resources folder.

Log in and submit your Post-Match Report here.

The Post-Match Report deadline is Jan. 23.

How to Submit Your NewsMatch Evaluation
Like last year, we invite you to complete a 15-20 minute Evaluation Survey, which will help us continue to improve NewsMatch. This year, for example, we added features such as the new member bonus based on your feedback.

Find and complete the survey here.

The survey is anonymous, so please tell us what worked and what we can do better. As an extra thank you, we’ll also select at random three organizations that submit the survey by Jan. 23 to receive a free registration and travel stipend for the INN Days 2018 conference.

The NewsMatch Evaluation deadline is Jan. 23.

Questions?
We try to make all this as easy as possible, but we’re happy to help if you run into questions. Please don’t hesitate to reach out early, so you’re in good shape by the Jan. 23 deadline. Here are a few resources you can use in preparing your report:
