Folks, I’m sorry to have to report that NMPolitics.net’s funding hasn’t been where it needs to be thus far in 2018. Coming off a successful effort to raise enough money in 2017 to keep the news organization going, I was feeling really optimistic about our future on Jan. 1.
Heath Haussamen
Since then, it’s been a real challenge to raise money.
I believe in NMPolitics.net. I believe journalism that digs deep and examines serious issues is critical to improving our state. I believe the respectful discourse we require in commentaries and on social media helps cut through the partisan divides to get us closer to solutions.
The importance of our work continues to be recognized. In the past week, NMPolitics.net’s investigative journalism has won state and national awards. We also won awards for commentary writing, news and feature reporting, and photography.
But without adequate funding, we can’t keep doing this work.
Our funding model is unique. We aren’t a nonprofit that can exist primarily on grant funding. We can’t rely on large ads like newspapers.
NMPolitics.net depends primarily on donations from people like you. We believe people should have access to news and information about their government regardless of their ability to pay, so we don’t charge a required subscription fee. Instead, we ask that you give what you can afford.
If you value strong journalism, if you read NMPolitics.net’s articles and engage in our discussions on social media, we need you to contribute to our future.
You can make a one-time donation online or send a check in the mail. Or you can sign up to make automatic, monthly donations. You can find more information and donate here.
Thanks so much for your support!
