For the eighth year in a row, the Rochester Beacon has been selected to participate in the national NewsMatch campaign, which runs Nov. 1 through Dec. 31, 2026. Through matching gifts, NewsMatch has helped nonprofit newsrooms across the country raise more than $400 million since 2017. Gifts from national and local funders are pooled to match small-dollar donations by individuals to participating organizations, all of which have operating budgets below $1 million. NewsMatch this year will match, dollar for dollar, up to $1,000 per donor—and donations are fully tax-deductible.  To be eligible for matching funds, donations must be made by individuals—personally, or through a business they own, a family foundation or donor-advised fund. They also must be made during the campaign period. A successful NewsMatch campaign will guarantee the Beacon can continue providing responsible, high-quality journalism in 2027. Thank you for your support!
