Only our most dedicated subscribers are seeing this — Your dedication has brought us within $150 of our $1,500 goal for Giving News Day!
We’re so close to achieving this milestone — let’s make it happen together.
Every dollar you give today will be doubled through the NewsMatch program. Your support empowers our newsroom to:
- Hold big agribusiness accountable.
- Fund records requests and reporter travel.
- Analyze critical data for investigative reporting.
If you see this after #GivingNewsDay, don’t worry! You can still double your donation through NewsMatch until Dec. 31.
Thank you for believing in nonprofit, independent journalism.
Another way to take part in NewsMatch is to give on a monthly, recurring basis. NewsMatch will double the entire year's gift if you are new to giving monthly — so a $10 monthly donation becomes $240 total. Already a monthly donor? If you increase that amount, those additional funds will be matched.
With gratitude,
Erin Orr, Executive Director
