Can you help NNS hit 100?

❤️ Become a new donor

On Nov. 1, we kicked off our biggest and most important fundraiser of the year. Our goal is to raise $15,000 before midnight on Dec. 31, a milestone that will help ensure that we start 2026 on a solid foundation.

On top of that, if we add 100 new donors before midnight on Dec. 31, we will win an extra $2,000 bonus from the Institute for Nonprofit News.

Help NNS get a bonus

That's not all! We also have matching funds.

Thanks to the NewsMatch program and the generosity of Wisconsin Watch board member Barbara Johnson, the first $5,000 we raise will be triple-matched.

Here’s how a triple match works: One-time gifts will be tripled, so if you make a one-time gift of $5, NNS will receive $15. Recurring gifts will be matched at 24 times the monthly pledge, so if you set up a $10 monthly donation, NNS will receive $240.
