Now through Dec. 31 — the Institute of Nonprofit News’s NewsMatch will match your recurring monthly donation 12 times ($10 a month for a year = $240 for AfroLA) or double your one-time gift, up to $1,000. And, our first $3,000 in contributions is TRIPLED, y’all. AfroLA can earn up to $26,000 with matching funds.
A sustainable future for AfroLA is our ultimate goal. Long-term sustainability, though, is dependent upon both philanthropic and grassroots support. We’re actively applying for grants and seeking large-dollar donations to help fund our launch and initial operations. But, we also need support from community members who value our work to contribute smaller donations. Even $10 a month can make a big impact. AfroLA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization; all donations are tax-deductible.
Your donations go directly to:
- Maintaining and developing new user-friendly features our website
- Funding our editorial operations, which includes fairly compensating the journalists, editors, freelancers, community contributors and staff that make our journalism happen
- Developing programs that empower current and future journalists to better cover L.A.’s Black communities and other historically-marginalized groups through education, training, mentorship and (paid) opportunities
