NewsMatch kicks off 2019 donation campaign


On Nov. 1, NewsMatch started its fourth annual campaign. The campaign drives donations to nonprofit newsrooms across the U.S. and has helped to raise more than $14.8 million since 2016, according to the organization.
The program was created by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation in 2016. NewsMatch also gets support from the Democracy Fund, Facebook Journalism Project, Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation, Jonathan Logan Family Foundation, Natasha and Dirk Ziff, Present Progressive Fund at Schwab Charitable and REI Co-op, in partnership with The Miami Foundation, the Institute for Nonprofit News and the News Revenue Hub.
The campaign will match up to $20,000 in individual donations to almost 200 newsrooms nationwide, the most that have ever participated, while helping newsrooms continue to develop their own fundraising capacity and long-term financial stability, according to NewsMatch. Donors will be able to contribute between Nov. 1 and Dec. 31, 2019, at NewsMatch.org.
