Read. Watch. Listen. Support. Local News

A fundraising campaign for Granite State News Collaborative

The Granite State News Collaborative works with its local media partners to keep our communities informed when you need us most. Show some love today!


Now through December 31, NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift, all up to $1,000. See below for details! Additionally, a national foundation has offered an additional $4,000 match as long as we hit a $4,000 goal! Let's do it Team NH!


The Granite State News Collaborative is a collective of more than 20 local media, education and community partners working together to produce and share news stories on the issues that most impact our state. 

The hope is that together we can provide more information to more communities across New Hampshire than we could individually.

It’s critical to have news at the local level. It’s not about saving local news outlets. It's about saving the connections that news fosters, and widely distributing information critical to policy, spending, health, education, equity, justice and understanding of climate change. It’s about being able to access and connect communities to find solutions together.

 

What we do and how we help:

As an organization, The Granite State News Collaborative exists to support local news outlets with additional resources and tools that help them meet their community’s needs. All of our services are free to member outlets, however all members contribute in kind time and resources. In just the last few years, because of the generosity of national and local donors, we have been able to invest  more than $420,000 in reporting resources that strengthen our local news partner statewide to the benefit of their communities. 

We do this by:

  • Helping member outlets co-report, coordinate and cross-publish coverage of the major issues impacting the state which means more people have more access to trusted local news

  • Providing outlets with access to experienced investigative freelance reporters that work directly with partner editors to produce in-depth, investigative, accountability and solutions-focused stories, series and projects.

  • Training local community members and students in how to cover local municipal meetings to fill hyperlocal reporting gaps and improve civic engagement

  • Working with student, emerging and freelance journalists to help stock the local newsroom pipeline 

  • Connecting partner newsrooms with nonpartisan community groups, which serves to bring new and diverse voices into the public conversation.

  • Providing free professional development training to newsrooms inside and outside our partnership, particularly in the areas of DEI and best practices for covering traditionally marginalized communities.

 

Your Donation to The Granite State News Collaborative will be matched dollar for dollar

This work is only possible with your support. That’s why we’re excited to share that we have an opportunity to make your donation go even further this year through NewsMatch, a collaborative fundraising movement to support independent, public service journalism like ours. 


Here’s how it works:

Now through December 31, NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift, all up to $1,000. Just think of the impact that could have—not just in our local newsrooms, but in our community. It doesn't take a lot and with all of us working together-- a little bit goes a long way.
