Donate – NewsMatch 2025 Campaign

Give during NewsMatch 2025, and your gift goes further

Donations from local readers mean the world to us because they show we’re reporting the news you care about in a way you can trust. That’s why we’re launching new membership tiers that we hope will inspire even more of you to commit to a small recurring donation this year.

As an extra incentive to become a member between now and December 31, all donations to Shasta Scout will be matched, helping to power our newsroom into 2026. New monthly donations are matched 12 times, and one-time gifts will be doubled, all up to $1,000. Our goal is to raise at least $18,000 in reader support before the end of the year, allowing Scout to earn double that amount.
