We appreciate your support!
The final tally for our 2023 NewsMatch drive is in. For the unfamiliar, NewsMatch is a national 1:1 matching campaign from the Fund for Nonprofit News at The Miami Foundation. We raised $10,220 in donations made from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31.
Our news is free, but journalism isn’t. Your donations contribute to fairly compensating the journalists, editors, freelancers, community contributors, and staff that make our journalism happen.
More than 30 donors made contributions, and five new people joined as sustaining members with recurring donations, from $5 to $50 a month. We’re grateful for everyone who was able to make a contribution, no matter what the amount. It means even more when you give what you can when you don’t have a lot to spare. A HUGE thank you to every person who donated. Please know that you’re supporting a worthwhile endeavor.
A sustainable future for AfroLA is our ultimate goal. We’re actively applying for grants and seeking large-dollar donations to help fund our launch and initial operations. But, we’re also doing outreach to community members for smaller one-time and recurring donations that can also make a big impact. Our long-term sustainability is dependent upon philanthropic and grassroots support.
So, we’re passing the collection plate.
Givebutter can accept one-time payments via debit or credit card, PayPal, Venmo or Google Pay. AfroLA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization; all donations are tax-deductible.

To fund essential staff salaries and critical business operations, we need financial backing not only from philanthropic donors but also community members who believe in this work and are willing to pitch in to support it.
Give a one-time tax-deductible donation or become a sustaining member with a monthly/annual donation today.
A donation that’s as little as $10 a month can make a difference.
Your donations go directly to:
- Building and maintaining our website
- Our editorial operations, including 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 through education, training and (paid) opportunities
This is just the start of what we have planned and we are excited to tell you more about the coming work your donations support in the near future. You can follow our coverage and be among the first to find out about our future programs by signing up for our newsletter.
