Editor’s Note: Half Off Again This Week

Leads to major donors appreciated while I mull over BINJ’s funding strategy

I’m taking another one of my pseudo-vacations this week—kind of half working and half not. And I’m thinking about ways to increase the ranks of BINJ’s major donors in my down time. So, if anyone has any bright ideas on where we can scare up $50,000 to $75,000 by mid-August to bridge us to some other money we’re expecting will come in late this year, drop me an email at jason [at] binj [dot] news.

Hope everyone has a great weekend and week.


Jason Pramas is the executive director of the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism.

The Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism produces bold independent journalism for Greater Boston and beyond.
Since 2015, BINJ has been producing hard-hitting news and analysis focusing on housing, criminal justice, the environment, government malfeasance, corporate corruption—and shedding light wherever it’s needed.

We work with some of the most experienced reporters in Greater Boston, and we also train dozens of emerging journalists each year to help them learn critical skills while providing quality reporting to our audience.

BINJ not only produces important stories; we also share our work for free with other community news outlets around Massachusetts, while organizing and leading at the regional and national levels of the nonprofit news industry.

We collaborate with other community publications and engage the public in civic educational initiatives

If you appreciate the work we are doing, please help us continue by making a tax-deductible donation today! With your support, BINJ can continue to provide more high-quality local journalism for years to come.
