We don’t go full court press at BINJ with our annual summer appeal to readers like you. Because low-pressure conversations fit the traditional spirit of the season. But it is a serious month-long effort on our part nonetheless … because the budgetary pressure on us remains high.
As we wait to see if a couple of irons we have in the proverbial fire with longtime major donors pan out over the coming months, we remain quite well aware that a funding cliff looms for us in August. If we can’t raise several thousand in small donations and find some new larger donors to help see us through the coming rough patch, then we’re going to have to severely curtail our activities until more money can be found. And we definitely don’t want to do that.
So, once again, I ask you to support the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism with whatever you can spare. It does make a difference and allows BINJ staff, professional journalists, and talented “Intern Army” to keep producing independent journalism in the public interest about key issues of the day in Boston and around Massachusetts.
Thanks very much for your consideration.
