Dec. 31 Is Last Day To Have Contributions Matched

The Border Belt Independent’s annual fundraising campaign ends at midnight, Dec. 31.

Tax-deductible contributions will be doubled up to $1,000 by NewsMatch, a national journalism philanthropy that supports independent nonprofit news organizations.

All Border Belt Independent content is free and we don’t sell advertising, so our sole sources of support come from like-minded grant funders and friends like you.

Since founding the Border Belt Independent in the spring of 2021, we’ve produced in-depth coverage of the issues impacting Bladen, Columbus, Robeson and Scotland counties.

Independent journalism like ours is more important than ever. Readers turn to the Border Belt Independent because they know they’ll find fact-driven reporting that explains what’s at stake and why it matters.

That’s why we’re asking readers to consider a contribution to help sustain our formidable newsroom.
