With support from community members like you, Watershed Voice raised $30,000 through NewsMatch in 2023, joining 340 other INN Network newsrooms in a collaborative fundraising campaign to support #nonprofitnews.
NewsMatch
We’re thrilled to kick off 2024 with a bit of good news: Thanks to readers like you who donated to Watershed Voice, we raised at least* $12,208 during our year-end campaign.
*Due to donation multipliers and the upcoming reporting/verification process the total amount raised could end up being higher than what is listed here.
A message from Executive Editor and Publisher Alek Haak-Frost regarding the final six days of Watershed Voice’s year-end fundraising campaign.
With a mere 18 days left in our year end fundraiser, we were informed that thanks to additional support from a national funder, NewsMatch will now match up to $15,000 for each participating newsroom.
As we reach the end of 2023, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the stories that had the biggest impact on our community this year. Let us take you through some of the highlights to illustrate why your financial support is crucial to this work.
As we end this year, and embark upon a new one, we’re asking for your help to ensure that Watershed Voice has the funding it needs to not only exist another year but for years to come.

A message from Executive Editor Alek Haak-Frost regarding Watershed Voice’s NewsMatch fundraising campaign.
From now until December 31, every donation made to Watershed Voice by donors like you will be matched by NewsMatch. The program will match up to $1,000 per individual donor, up to $13,000. Our goal is to raise a grand total of $26,000 from your donations plus the matching funds. We’re excited to launch this campaign to support our work in bringing you news that matters in St. Joseph County!
Following a totally planned and not at all unintentional 80-day hiatus, Keep Your Voice Down is back! Alek and Doug return to their respective mics to discuss the 2023 LION Local Journalism Awards in North Carolina, mental health, and Watershed Voice’s upcoming NewsMatch fundraising campaign.
