Individuals who believe in the importance of independent, nonprofit and nonpartisan journalism make the Newton Beacon possible.
We are thankful for all donations regardless of size. The donors recognized here made gifts from January 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025. The list includes seven gifts given anonymously, totalling less than 1% of donations for the period.
We do not accept donations from elected officials while in office or from candidates for elected office. The exception is for ticketed events when officials may purchase a general admission ticket. We have and will continue to return donations to a number of candidates or electeds who were not aware of our policy. When elected officials leave office, they usually close out their campaign accounts. A common State-approved dispersal is to local nonprofit organizations. We received such a donation in 2024.
Please let us know of any corrections or omissions. We will make every effort to update the posted list. Contact giving@newtonbeacon.
