Hi there,

My name is Melanie Plenda and I am the director of The Granite State News Collaborative.

With less than a day to go in our year-end fundraising campaign, I will keep this message brief. Already, we've raised more than $3,900 toward our goal, but we need your help to get us the rest of the way there.

Your donation to The Collaborative allows us to produce in-depth accountability-driven, investigative reporting that we then distribute through our more than 20 local media partners. Our partners also work with our reporters to produce investigative projects that they don't have the resources to do on their own. That work is also distributed across the partner network.

In other words, donating to The Collaborative has a multiplier effect that is felt at more than 20 news organizations and the communities they serve across the state of New Hampshire.

It's no secret that news organizations like ours face significant funding challenges. It takes a lot of grit and creativity to produce the kind of reporting we strive for every day. It's hard work, but essential, and it's people like you that make it possible.

Any amount, large or small, will help us fulfill our mission and help our partners continue to produce the kind of in-depth, investigative and accountability journalism our communities need and deserve. Please consider a donation today.

With gratitude,
Melanie Plenda
