Georgia needs Capitol Beat. Capitol Beat needs you. NewsMatch 2024 begins!
The NewsMatch campaign at Capitol Beat, our biggest fundraiser of the year, has kicked off!
Here at Capitol Beat, our mission is to provide in-depth, unbiased coverage of state government and fill the void left by a shrinking press corps covering the statehouse, our elected officials, and statewide issues.
Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower readers and to hold our government accountable. Capitol Beat is now in its fifth year of operation and continues to grow in readership and respect. None of this 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 double the impact of donations to Capitol Beat which will help power our newsroom into 2025. Here’s how it works:
NewsMatch will match your donation, up to $1,000. That means that, through NewsMatch, your donation can be matched dollar-for-dollar. All donations must be made by individuals, not businesses or other organizations.
If you’ve been thinking about becoming a donor to Capitol Beat, 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 double the impact of your donation?
