As a valued reader, you know we work hard to provide the information people in our region need, when they need it, without paywalls. We’re proud to serve our neighbors and our community this way. Being a nonprofit newsroom means that no one owns us or tells us what to publish — and it also means that we count on the support of our community to make our work possible.

We’re excited to offer a special opportunity to amplify your impact through NewsMatch, a collaborative fundraising initiative supporting independent journalism like ours.

Here’s how it works: Through Dec. 31, the Wyncote Foundation, the Education Partner Fund and our generous local match pool supporters will match your new monthly donation 12 times or double your one-time gift. With your support, we can earn up to $60,000 in match funds!

Your support will get our campaign off to a strong start and set our newsroom up to report in 2026. If you’ve found value in our newsroom’s work, will you give today to double the impact of your donation?

This story was made possible by donations to our independent, nonprofit newsroom.

We’re Pittsburgh’s Public Source. Since 2011, we’ve taken pride in serving our community by delivering accurate, timely, and impactful journalism — without paywalls. We believe that everyone deserves access to information about local decisions and events that affect them.

But it takes a lot of resources to produce this reporting, from compensating our staff, to the technology that brings it to you, to fact-checking every line, and much more. Reader support is crucial to our ability to keep doing this work.

If you learned something new from this story, consider supporting us with a donation today. Your donation helps ensure that everyone in Allegheny County can stay informed about issues that impact their lives. Thank you for your support!
