To the Beat community and the generous Pivot Fund,
We’re thrilled to share that your collective dedication and support have not only met but exceeded our fundraising goal, reaching beyond $100,000. This milestone is a powerful testament to our shared commitment to independent journalism that prioritizes the underrepresented and addresses the digital divide in Baltimore.
Your support is the cornerstone of our mission to offer news that empowers, educates, and connects our community. It enables us to continue our work with increased vigor and to expand our reach to every corner of Baltimore, ensuring that all voices are heard. With this change, we are looking to hire an additional staff reporter for our team. Your contributions have a genuine impact on the growth of Baltimore Beat.
We’re immensely grateful for your trust, your contributions, and your belief in our vision. Together, we make a profound difference, foster civic engagement, and contribute to a more informed and equitable Baltimore.
Thank you for standing with Baltimore Beat. Your support propels us forward, and we’re excited about what we will achieve together.
The Pivot Fund’s investment is more than financial; it’s a belief in the power of community-focused journalism to enact change. It reinforces the critical role of venture philanthropy in amplifying underrepresented voices, ensuring that our mission to inform and engage Baltimore’s diverse communities continues to thrive.
Does this mean our work is done for fundraising? No, but we will be here for all of 2024 now. Your support is still needed if you want us to expand and be here longer.
You are a pivotal part of our journey,
