| Friend,
Like many of us here at Free Press, I’m reflecting on our history and accomplishments as we celebrate our 20th anniversary.
And while there is so very much to be proud of, one of the things that fills me with the most pride is our refusal of corporate money. All of our work on Net Neutrality, protecting your online privacy, reviving local journalism and so much more … none of it is funded by a single cent from business, government or political parties.
We plan on keeping it that way.
What we raise in this critical giving season toward our $50K year-end goal directly impacts the work we can do in 2024. Please consider making your first tax-deductible gift to Free Press. A generous donor will match your donation. Free Press didn’t clarify our mature fundraising policy until year five or six. But from the start, we didn’t take money from corporations.
We knew we wanted to get funded by public charities, private foundations and individuals — people like you.
But I think our track record on so many of our core issues speaks for itself — that organizing to transform our media system is, in fact, possible without money that fundamentally goes against our values.
And by donating to Free Press today, you can DOUBLE your impact on the tough fights ahead — next month, next year and another 20 years from now. Make your first gift to Free Press while every dollar goes twice as far.
I’m grateful to have this opportunity to thank you for everything you do. Every time I review our finances, making sure we have the resources needed to continue our campaigns — I see the difference that people like you — NOT CORPORATIONS — make.
Thank you so much,
Kimberly Longey
CFO/COO

P.S. We’re still free of corporate money after 20 years. You make that possible: Make a matched gift to Free Press today that’ll go 2x as far toward our $50K year-end goal.  |
