As a reader of The Newton Beacon, you understand the importance of reliable, independent local news.

Our dedicated journalists work year-round to bring you the stories that matter most to our community. Over the past 12 months, 264,000 unique readers have visited The Newton Beacon website more than 630,000 times to read stories and learn more about what’s happening across the city. This news is made possible through the support of Newton residents like you, and now, we’re excited to announce our biggest fundraiser of the year — NewsMatch.

Through NewsMatch, your gift can go twice as far. From now until December 31, NewsMatch and a group of local supporters will match every donation, dollar-for-dollar, up to $1,000. Plus, if you become a monthly donor, the campaign will match your entire first year’s commitment up front. This matching opportunity allows us to raise up to $60,000 in additional funds, making it an ideal time to show your support.

NewsMatch is offered through the Institute for Nonprofit News and funded by national foundations and local donors who recognize the power of an informed community. Their contributions enable us to continue delivering unbiased journalism on issues that impact us all, from healthcare to education.

Now is the best time to make your gift and help ensure The Newton Beacon can continue its mission into 2025 and beyond. For the next several weeks we’ll be reaching out a bit more than usual
because we believe in this work — and we hope you do too.

Please, double your impact today by making a gift. Together, we can keep the Beacon strong.

Thank you,
Joe Hunter, President and Board Member
Newton News Foundation
