BINJ’s 2024 annual fundraiser was a success


In my previous note, I thanked all our supporters for reading the articles produced by my colleagues and me at the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism, telling folks about us, and helping us raise a good deal of money at the end of 2024. 

In this note, with our big annual November and December fundraiser completed and the $50,000 fundraising floor we set for ourselves reached, I’d just like to specifically thank all our supporters for helping us achieve our toughest challenge within that effort: raising the $15,000 we needed to release the NewsMatch matching grant of the same amount offered by the Institute for Nonprofit News and the Miami Foundation–which is tricky because only donations of $1,000 or less count toward the match.

So, a bunch of you helped us do a difficult thing … again. Thanks!
 
We’re definitely happy that we raised what we needed to raise and that we get to keep BINJ going for another year. Please keep spreading the word about BINJ and our statewide, student-driven, news magazine HorizonMass to friends, family, and colleagues, it’s definitely working! Cheers to all!
