Turnagain News qualifies for NewsMatch Grant

On July 9, 2024 Turnagain News learned its application to participate in the 2024 NewsMatch program had been approved.  The concept is simple.  Individual donations made to nonprofit newsrooms like TN this November will be matched one for one up to a maximum of $1,000.  

The match is funded by a coalition of national funders.  Turnagain News Publisher Jon Scudder said approval of TN’s application was “good news”.  

“We are raising funds to support independent news reporting throughout Turnagain Arm,” said Scudder. “It’s important there is a news source for public interest, not private profit.”

In 2023 TN qualified for nearly $5,000 in matching funds.  This support has been critical in enabling TN to build the initial capacity to deliver information and develop a non-profit newsroom.   

The TN Board will announce the 2024 NewsMatch goal by Sept. 1.  Mark your calendars and plan to participate beginning Nov.1!
