Double your impact for North Dakota news

Normally at the start of the month, I share what we’ve accomplished together. But this time, I want to look ahead — because what we do next matters even more. Today, we’re kicking off our biggest fundraiser of the year: NewsMatch, a nationwide effort that helps nonprofit newsrooms like ours build local support for strong, independent journalism. 

There’s never been a more important time to stand up for independent journalism that keeps North Dakotans informed, connected, and empowered.

From now until December 31, we have an opportunity to significantly boost the impact of donations to The North Dakota News Cooperative, which will help power our newsroom into 2026. Here’s how it works:

NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift, all up to $1,000. That means that through NewsMatch, we can earn up to $15,000.

And it gets even better. North Dakota News Cooperative has been selected to receive additional Rural Partner matching funds up to $3,000.

As an NDNC subscriber, you already know the value of our work. Thank you. If you’re able to pitch in a little extra in the spirit of NewsMatch and in an effort to bolster independent journalism in North Dakota, we’d be so grateful.

You’ve seen the difference our coverage makes: holding power to account, uncovering untold stories, and keeping you informed. Now, we need you with us to keep it going.

Thank you for believing in us, and for your patience with extra messages during this critical moment.

CEO, North Dakota News Cooperative
