Get Involved

With your support, you can also be part of a community powering local, trustworthy news in Oregon and Washington:

Institutional Philanthropy

Supporters share Uplift Local’s belief that communities with reliable, accurate local news and information are stronger, more connected and make better decisions. They may be asked for input to help Uplift Local stay up to date with evolving community needs, but do not influence, guide or affect Uplift Local’s journalism, its Documenters program, or any news and information, events or trainings. When supporters who have given $1,000 or more to Uplift Local are named in our stories, we will disclose that.

Want more information? Read our backstory, learn about our research, and read our vision for closing gaps in community information in Oregon. Or, you can always reach out to if you’d like to discuss becoming an institutional donor.

Thank you for helping build inclusive, community-based news and information networks.

Transparency with Donors and Members

Uplift Local publishes names of its members and donors because we are grateful – though not beholden – to the people who support our work. We publish donors and members who support at every level, because a $25 donation is as significant for some people as a $25,000 donation is for others.

The totals listed on this page include both pledged and received cumulative gifts. Amounts listed are regularly updated. If you have a question about an amount or name you see below, please contact us at .

In full editorial transparency: when adopting this policy, we borrowed heavily from the Texas Tribune.

Gift Acceptance Policy 

Uplift Local will accept gifts from foundations, donor advised funds, named companies and organizations, and individuals. Funders (including individual donors) are not aware of specific stories Uplift Local is working on and do not review them before publication. Funders do not have privileged access to reporters or editors.  

Uplift Local will accept gifts for specific editorial projects from named foundations, donor-advised funds and individual donors, and only with the agreement of the editorial staff. Funders of specific editorial projects do not have privileged access to reporters or editors and will be listed alongside or in conjunction with the content they fund. 

Uplift Local will accept anonymous gifts and anonymous donor-advised fund gifts for unrestricted support of our operations. In cases where the identity of the donor is known to Uplift Local, no single anonymous gift can represent more than 7% of Uplift Local’s annual revenue as reported in the previous fiscal year. Annual combined anonymous gifts from donors whose identities are known to Uplift Local cannot exceed 20% of Uplift Local’s annual revenue.  

Uplift Local reserves the right to decline any gift where the senior editorial staff or the board of directors concludes that it might create an appearance of bias or conflict of interest. 

Uplift Local is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization incorporated in Oregon (EIN 93-4797624) and will provide donors a timely full accounting of all contributions made during a calendar year.
