Two years ago we made it our mission to fill the void of investigative reporting in the DC region. With your support SpotlightDC has delivered by funding 18 watchdog projects with $80,000 in awards.
Five takeaways:
DC’s child welfare system has covered up deaths of children in its care.
90% of “recycling” from DC apartments buildings goes to the dump.
Fraud in DC’s eviction system put tenants on the street without notice.
DC vowed to close illegal pot storefronts but bowed to owners to back off.
Heat Islands across DC cause deaths in unlikely neighborhoods.
Once a year we ask you to contribute funds that go directly to watchdog reporters working on consequential stories. We promise to make your generosity count.
Your contributions will be doubled by Newsmatch through 12/31!
