The impact of local news is immeasurable
Trusted, local journalism is essential for a thriving community and a healthy democracy, and The Daily Herald covers Snohomish County like no other institution or organization can. We are the community’s watchdog and storyteller, and we have been for more than 120 years.
Our reporters are out in the community, listening to you, telling your stories, and lifting up the voices of those who often feel unheard. Our award-winning journalism often sparks change and sets the agenda for public policy debate.
Learn more about the impact of community-funded journalism in our 2021 Community Impact Report and the video below about The Daily Herald’s public-service mission.
Community-funded journalism lets you have an impact
Like many newsrooms across the country, The Daily Herald has established several journalism initiatives that enable us to expand our reporting to meet community needs.
This community-funded journalism benefits us all.
Investigative Journalism Fund
Investigative journalism is one of the most time-intensive and expensive types of reporting. It holds those in power accountable, validates those who often feel invisible, and seeks to right wrongs. This fund is a partnership between The Daily Herald and Journalism Funding Partners, tax ID #84-2968843, a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization.
To donate by check: Make your check payable to Journalism Funding Partners. Write Investigative Fund in the memo line and mail to The Daily Herald, P.O. Box 930, Everett, WA 98206.
Environmental and Climate Change Reporting Fund
This ambitious initiative sheds light on how climate change impacts Snohomish County’s environment, economy, and health and what our community is doing about it. This fund is a partnership between The Daily Herald and Journalism Funding Partners, tax ID #84-2968843, a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization.
