It might be midnight on the East Coast, but we’ve still got three more hours for @riversiderecord.bsky.social to reach its goal of 50 new donors to secure an additional $1,000 in funding as part of NewsMatch.

We’ve got 26 to go. Can you help us?

We've got 4.5 hours to go until midnight and @riversiderecord.bsky.social needs 27 more first-time donors!

I know y'all can help get this little newsroom of mine over the finish line so we can secure an additional $1,000 in funding.

We’ve got 5.5 hours left until midnight, and we’re still 28 new donors away from hitting our goal!

I know there are at least 28 of you who follow me who can spare $5 to support independent local news in Riverside County!

Don’t wait! Donate now: riverside-record.fundjournalism.org/newsmatch/

We are just 29 donors away from hitting our new donor goal for our year-end fundraiser.

If we can do this by midnight tonight, @riversiderecord.bsky.social will secure an additional $1,000 in funding through NewsMatch.

Will you help? riverside-record.fundjournalism.org/newsmatch/

All donations up to $1K are doubled until midnight tonight, meaning your support goes twice as far!

With that money we’ll be able to pay more writers to cover more stories throughout the county and keep you more informed.

Today is the *final* day of our year-end fundraising campaign.

If just half of my followers donated $7, we’d blow our goal out of the water (and secure an additional $15K in the process thanks to NewsMatch)!
