Help us revive local journalism.
Thanks to the many generous donors who gave during our year-end fundraising campaign to support journalism that is always free — free to read, free of advertising — and to our amazing local match sponsors and national NewsMatch funders, we reached our goal: Together, we raised over $64,000 that will go directly to provide fact-based, nonpartisan news for Whatcom, San Juan and Skagit counties.
As always, donations pay for independent reporting that gives information and context on issues and events that are important to our community. In 2023, donor support will enable the Salish Current to hire one full-time staff person, increase our news coverage, develop more community partnerships and increase readership.
Thanks to all for your ongoing support … and please keep liking, sharing and linking to Salish Current on social media or from your website!
