Democracy needs news. News needs you.
Dear Reader,
American democracy is at the top of our minds this month with Election Day fast approaching. Today also kicks off this year’s NewsMatch campaign here at The Xylom, which is our biggest fundraiser of the year.
Here at The Xylom, we see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.
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.
Now for some great news: From now until December 31, we have an opportunity to boost the impact of donations to The Xylom, which will help power our newsroom into 2025. Here’s how it works:
The Heising-Simons Foundation, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Walton Family Foundation, and NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 36 times or quadruple (!) your one-time gift, all up to $1,000. That means that, through NewsMatch, we can earn up to $21,150.
If you’ve been thinking about becoming a donor to The Xylom, this is the best time to do it. 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 quadruple the impact of your donation?
Thank you for believing in journalism that strengthens our democracy.
With gratitude,
Alex Ip
