Journalism costs money, and at least 86 percent of our annual budget is reserved to pay the folks who work hard each week to bring you the news.

When you donate to Watershed Voice you’re not only investing in local journalism, you’re investing in the people who make it possible. With just seven hours left in our NewsMatch campaign, we ask you to make that investment.

We have raised $8,867 toward our $15,000 goal, and with your help we can reach that goal. If we do indeed surpass that number before midnight, you will have enabled us to raise $30,000 thanks to NewsMatch.
