It’s finally almost here, (NOV. 1 – Wednesday at midnight) InDepthNH.org’s biggest fundraiser of the year. Help us raise $100,000 this year through your generous tax-deductible donations to help build our business end and continue to report unbiased news that matters to New Hampshire without fear or favor.
And do it with the best, most honest, ethical, trusted reporters in the state – Garry Rayno, Paula Tracy, Damien Fisher, Nancy West and our newcomer Ani Freedman. And of course our fabulous columnists and podcasters Beverly Stoddart, Arnie Alpert, Susan Dromey Heeter, George Liset, Roger Wood, Wayne King, Michael Davidow, Monica West, Steve Dunfey, Michael Ferber and our dedicated board of directors Bob Charest, George Bald, Robin Mulcahy, Gina Gilmore, Steve Taylor, Lucy Wyman, Don Kreis and Gloria Norris.
Because of NewsMatch, New Hampshire Charitable Foundation’s Geoffrey E. Clark and Martha Fuller Clark Fund and our own board of directors, all donations from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31 will be doubled up to $1,000 each up to $25,500 so far and we expect that number to grow.
We hope to raise $100,000 this year to work on our sustainability project and indepth news reporting and be able to hire professionals to help with fundraising, ad sales, obituaries, event planning and other ways we plan on becoming financially sustainable so we will be able to report unbiased news and hold the powerful accountable well into the future. Is forever too long to ask? I think not.
We’re excited to share that we have this opportunity to make your donation go even further this year with help from NewsMatch, an industry-wide movement to sustain journalism through matching gifts on the local and national level.
Here’s how it works.
Starting Nov. 1, through Dec. 31 your new tax-deductible monthly donation will be matched 12 times or double your one-time gift, all up to $1,000. So far that tops out at $25,500 total, but I expect that will grow to at least $50,000 for purposes of doubling your money. Help prove me right, please. The more we raise and the faster we do it the faster we can become a truly sustainable online news outlet.
Let’s make this the year that it happens.
We hope we have proven ourselves worthy of your support over the past eight years. I know I am proud of the work everyone here does to make sure you are fully informed. We believe democracy is threatened without trusted local news. That belief and your support keeps us going.
I can’t tell you what it means to me when you send a note along with a check saying you appreciate what we do.
If you value this critical work, will you give starting at midnight Nov. 1?
We are grateful you – our dedicated readers – keep us going all year long. Trust me we need you right now more than ever. And plan to work hard to make sure local news never dies in New Hampshire.
I will keep you posted on our progress and invite you to send us some messages we can print on why you choose InDepthNH.org as your trusted source of local news. Thanks for everything these past eight years. Sincerely, Nancy West
