#GivingNewsDay tax-deductible donation supports investigative journalism and training for new journalists in Iowa.
Every year, millions of Americans mark the Tuesday after Thanksgiving by donating to nonprofit and philanthropic causes as part of Giving Tuesday. Learn more here.
IowaWatch is included in a huge, national News Match 2017 fund drive that will benefit our non-profit news gathering and training program with up to $28,000 in matching funds. It will help support our training of the next generation of journalists in our democracy.
It won’t count for the Knight News Match but your donation to IowaWatch always helps us produce strong investigative and collaborate journalism while training student journalists to do this work at a high, ethical level. Support IowaWatch’s non-profit journalism and training efforts. Thank you for participating with your gifts to IowaWatch this past month through the Knight News Match. In all, 62 of you donated $15,030 and the Knight Foundation has matched $9,530 of that through the Knight Foundation Donor Advised Fund at The Miami Foundation. Two of you donated twice.
Today is the last day you can take advantage of the Knight News Match. Every $10 you donate becomes $20 for IowaWatch because of the Knight Foundation’s designation of IowaWatch as a worthy non-profit news organization.

An IowaWatch college media journalism project in late winter and early spring found a general aversion to limiting speech and expression on several Iowa campuses but willingness among some to regulate speech – hate speech for instance – that threatens someone. One of several stories in this report.
