Democracy needs news. News needs you.

Our very first NewsMatch starts today!

Democracy is at the top of our minds today, as Americans head to the polls. The stakes have never felt higher. That’s one reason we’re reaching out to let you know that today, we’re kicking off one of our biggest fundraisers of the year. 

But this year, our end-of-year fundraiser is a little bit different.

That’s because from now until December 31, we have an opportunity to boost the impact of donations to Inkstick, which will help power our newsroom into 2025. 

Here’s how it works:

NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift, all up to $1,000. That means that, through NewsMatch, we can earn up to $30,000! 

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower readers and to hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of community members like you. 

Thank you for subscribing to Inkstick and for valuing independent journalism. If you are able to chip in a little extra in the spirit of NewsMatch — a collaborative movement that supports public-service reporting — we’d be so grateful. 

Your support will get our NewsMatch campaign off to a solid start and help keep our newsroom on strong footing. If you believe in the work we’re doing, will you give today to double the impact of your donation?

Thank you for believing in journalism that strengthens our democracy.

With gratitude,

Laicie
