From the Founders Desk Double your donation to support community news thanks to Rick Steves

Lynnwood, WALocal News

Philanthropist Rick Steves announced he will match reader donations to local nonprofit news organizations up to $10,000, promoting financial sustainability in journalism. This initiative focuses on enhancing civic education and engagement, particularly for communities that have been traditionally underrepresented. The nonprofit organizations, including My Edmonds News, MLTnews, and Lynnwood Today, depend largely on tax-deductible reader donations for support. In anticipation of the Nov. 4 local elections, My Neighborhood News Network plans to sponsor in-person candidate events for voters in Mountlake Terrace, Lynnwood, and Edmonds.

Steves highlighted the critical role of independent journalism in strengthening community ties and democracy. He encourages community members to contribute to support local news. Readers can find more information and access the donation page to take advantage of Steves' matching offer. This matching initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure the survival and thriving of local journalism.
