Nonprofits

Residents support their local news

Individual donations of $1,000 or less will be matched up to a total of $35,000 until midnight Dec. 31 during our annual fundraiser known as Pledge of Champions!

BenitoLink’s annual fundraiser now shows $28,745 in donations made by community members. These citizens have shown that they value local news by donating during our important annual fundraiser, the Pledge of Champions.

Donations will be matched until midnight Dec. 31. Individual donations of $1,000 or less will be matched up to a total of $35,000 thanks to the help of the Institute for Nonprofit News and the Wolf Family Foundation.

BenitoLink readers and supporters are an important part of the BenitoLink community. They provide stories, events, comments, and give BenitoLink staff and reporters feedback on what they want to know more about. It is because of our donors that we can report regularly on local government, education, transportation, housing, and other important topics.

San Benito County residents are fortunate to have fellow citizens who care deeply about being well informed. Their financial support helps provide free news to anyone who goes to benitolink.com.

Show your support by donating to BenitoLink and have your donation doubled before the year is over! Monthly payments by Sustaining Members can also be fully matched. Sustaining Members help provide year-round financial stability that helps maintain a lasting newsroom, here to serve San Benito County residents for years to come.
