Your gift today will go twice as far for local journalism

Today is a big day for community-powered journalism in Southern Arizona.

When Tucson Spotlight launched just over a year ago, we made a promise: to strengthen local news and to pay the next generation of journalists for their work. Every story we publish — every neighborhood issue covered, every bilingual report, every reel — is made possible by people like you who believe in an informed, connected Tucson.

And today, your support to our Fund the Future of Journalism campaign goes twice as far.

A generous donor has stepped up to match every gift, dollar for dollar, up to $10,000 through the end of the year. That means your contribution will directly help us pay, train, and support even more emerging journalists in 2025.

Your tax-deductible donation powers the interns and early-career reporters who attend events, interview neighbors, and amplify underrepresented voices. The young storytellers building the future of local journalism right here at home.

This match won’t last forever, and we don’t want to leave a single dollar on the table.

Now is the moment to double your impact.

Double my gift today

Thank you for being part of this work,
