We Can Double Your Gift to ELi Now!
Do you value what ELi does for this community – bringing timely and important news of local government and schools, local arts and businesses, Parks & Rec and the East Lansing Public Library, issues of our environment and our people?
Then we need you today!
Today marks the start of NewsMatch, a program that empowers us to obtain a national matching grant that doubles gifts made to ELi!
We are part of NewsMatch because we belong to the Institute for Nonprofit News (INN). INN has arranged funding from a team of national philanthropies, including Democracy Fund and the Knight Foundation.
NewsMatch will match donations made today through Dec. 1 up to $5,000 per individual and up to a total cap of $11,500 this year.
We have a lot of different ways you can give, and all of them work for the match! Find them all here.
Note that new monthly commitments will be matched at the ANNUAL rate – so make a new commitment of $20/month and that will bring us a $240 match!
Since 2014, ELi’s public service journalism has been brought to you through an IRS-recognized 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation, which means that you can tax-deduct contributions to us as charitable donations (to the extent the tax law allows you to make such deductions).
Act now to help out your dedicated and independent local news team!
