ON hopes to raise $15k for match

Last month, we announced that we would be participating in NewsMatch 2024 and that we would begin offering a premium amenity of having The Owen News mailed directly to our members.

We're halfway through the campaign and halfway to our goal, but The Owen News needs your help.

What is NewsMatch?

NewsMatch is collective, matching campaign through November and December to member publications of The Institute for Nonprofit News (INN), of which The Owen News is part of. NewsMatch provides a 1:1 match for any donations or memberships made to The Owen News. It also provides certain goal-based bonuses.

NewsMatch will match monthly pledges at the amount for the full year. For example, a recurring donation set up at $10 per month would be matched at $120 for the entire year.

Additionally, The Owen County Community Foundation (OCCF) is providing a local match of up to $20,000, creating a 2:1 match. This means that every dollar donated to support local, independent journalism will be tripled, helping us to fulfill our mission to be Owen County's leading source of reliable and unbiased local news in order to foster an informed and engaged community.
