Mountainair Dispatch Selected for NMLNF’s 2025 Holiday Matching Fund Campaign
I’m excited to share some good news: the New Mexico Local News Fund (NMLNF) has selected the Mountainair Dispatch to participate in its annual Holiday Matching Fund Campaign.
What does that mean for you and for local journalism in Torrance County? It means that every subscription and every one-time contribution you make during the month of December will be matched by the NMLNF, doubling your impact at a moment when local news truly needs it.
Why Your Support Matters
The Mountainair Dispatch relies on this annual matching campaign to help cover the essential costs of reporting in our rural communities—everything from time on the road, gathering photographs and interviews, to the tools and hosting that keep this website running.
These costs are about to grow in the coming year. The Dispatch will expand its coverage across Torrance County. That means more meetings, more miles, more stories, and more service journalism for the communities that make up our county.
I'm committed to that expanded coverage. Your support is what makes it possible.
How You Can Help
If you value having an independent, community-centered source of news in the Estancia Valley and the Manzano Mountains, now is the best time of year to show it. Thanks to the NMLNF, every dollar you give goes twice as far.
You can help in two ways:
- Make a one-time contribution — perfect for readers who want to boost local journalism during the holidays.
- Become a sustaining member — a simple monthly subscription that provides stability for long-term reporting projects.
Both options qualify for matching funds during the NMLNF Holiday Campaign.
Your support keeps local news alive, accessible, and focused on the people and places of Torrance County. Thank you for helping the Dispatch grow into the next chapter.
