CalMatters journalists are committed to serving you and millions of people across the golden state. Our mission remains essential.

•  We are independent, nonpartisan, and free from corporate influence.
•  We focus on California issues and our free journalism informs millions.
•  We hold powerful people and institutions accountable every day.

But we can’t keep doing this without support from readers like you. Plus, right now in our year-end drive donations are tripled thanks to our annual Board Match and the new California Match Fund.

You can receive a special-edition CalMatters tote with a new $10+ monthly gift (or, if you already give monthly, an extra $25+ one-time gift).

Triple your donation

Through Dec. 31 donations are tripled to triple your impact.

We have a Board of Directors Match and also a new California Match Fund made possible by supporters like Craig of Aliso Viejo, Susan of Palo Alto, Renee of Los Angeles, Jane of San Diego, Fransien and Jeroen of Santa Clara, Viktor of San Jose, and The Law Offices of Karlene Goller.

To contribute to the California Match fund, please reach out to membership@calmatters.org.
