Now’s the time to stand up for The Xylom!

NewsMatch 2025 begins! Quadruple your impact.

Dear Reader,

Today we’re kicking off our biggest fundraiser of the year: NewsMatch, a nationwide campaign to support nonprofit journalism. There’s never been a more critical time to protect independent newsrooms like ours — newsrooms that provide an essential public service by covering global health and environmental disparities, a topic that the Trump administration has banned from public discussion.

From now until December 31st, we have an opportunity to boost the impact of donations to The Xylom, which will help power our newsroom into 2026. Here’s how it works:

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 $30,000.

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 us going strong.

You’ve seen the difference our coverage makes — holding power to account, uncovering untold stories, and keeping you informed. Now, we need you with us to keep it going.

Will you make a gift today and quadruple your impact?

Thank you for believing in us, and for your patience with extra messages during this critical moment. If you donate today, we'll make sure you don't get any additional emails from us for the rest of the year. 😀

With gratitude,
Alex Ip

<sup>P.S. NewsMatch only runs through December 31st! Give now to ensure your gift is matched and your impact is quadrupled.

The Xylom relies on donations, and fundraisers like this one, to exist. We appreciate your patience with extra emails during these times. By making a donation, you can skip the bulk of these messages going forward. Thanks for being in The Xylom's community.</sup>
