We’re kicking off our biggest fundraiser of the year: NewsMatch, a nationwide campaign to support nonprofit journalism. There’s never been a more critical time to protect independent newsrooms like ours — newsrooms that report with an emphasis on solutions to our city’s biggest problems.
As you might have heard, The Citizen recently purchased Philadelphia magazine with the help of community members — like you. Between The Citizen and Philly Mag, we want to be your go-to hub for living well and doing good in Philadelphia. And we need your help to launch our mission into this next monumental chapter. As Citizen Co-founder Larry Platt puts it:
These publications share a civic mission: to uplift our city and region through journalism and thought-leadership events, to shine a light on the best of us, and to examine where we can do better. By combining forces and bringing together different voices, we will evolve together and introduce new ways for readers to learn about, and talk about, their city.
Through the end of the year, your dollar can make twice the impact with Wyncote Foundation and Newsmatch matching up to $15,000, which will help power our newsroom into 2026.
You’ve seen the difference our coverage makes — holding power to account, uncovering the solutions Philadelphia needs, and keeping you informed. Now, we need you with us to keep it going. Will you help us reach our goal today?
