We want to make independent journalism accessible to everyone who is interested in stories about Hopkinsville. To sustain — and grow — this ambitious effort for Hopkinsville, our nonprofit business model relies on donors.
If you like what we do, please consider becoming a sustaining member or making a one-time donation. Questions? Contact Hoptown Chronicle engagement editor Julia Hunter at julia@hoptownchronicle.org.

NewsMatch 2024
From now until December 31, NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation* 12 times OR double your one-time gift, up to $1,000 per person. If Hoptown Chronicle raises $15,000, NewsMatch will bring our total up to $30,000. Every dollar we raise will go toward bringing you journalism you can’t get anywhere else and will help keep Hoptown Chronicle going strong.
*Donors that increase their monthly gift during the campaign period will have the value of the increase matched for its full-year value up to $1,000. For example, an existing member who decides to increase their gift from $10 to $15 a month would produce a $5 increase in their monthly contribution.
NewsMatch will only match new monthly recurring gifts. Annual and quarterly gifts will not be matched.
While NewsMatch only matches contributions from individuals, enhanced giving opporunities do exist for major donors, local businesses, and foundations interested in supporting your work. If you’re interested in learning more, contact us at editor@hoptownchronicle.org.
