Dear John â Last week we reached a milestone. MacArthur Foundation, renowned for supporting systemic breakthroughs, awarded Circle of Blue a catalytic grant in recognition of our trusted journalism from the frontlines. This is a powerful validation of your support as foundations like MacArthur look to our active readership as indication of our impact. It's a moment when we need your support more than ever. We're just over halfway to our goal of raising $30,000 through the NewsMatch year-end challenge. The math is easy. Right now, every dollar you give to Circle of Blue by midnight December 31 brings us $2. When you donate $50, Circle of Blue receives $100. A $1,000 gift equals $2,000. With your support, we produce the trusted journalism that makes sense of complex times. This yearâs Year in Water is another must-read by senior reporter Brett Walton as we navigate uncharted waters ahead. Take a look. Please join us! Brett, Keith, Laura, Eileen, Carl, Izzy, Camille, Merrill, Russell, Kat and Christian, and our global water community |
