Support local news built for and with you.
From now until Dec. 31, Dallas Free Press is participating in NewsMatch, a powerful collaborative fundraising movement to support independent journalism.
During this time (or until our match is met!), all one-time donations are DOUBLED, and all new monthly donations are being matched 12x.
As a community-powered, nonprofit newsroom, we answer only to our neighbors. That independence keeps our work rooted in real community needs. NewsMatch helps strengthen and sustain that independence — stretching community support further and expanding what we can accomplish together in the year ahead.
When you support this work, here’s what you make possible:
Trusted local news and information aren’t optional — they’re essential. And together, we can ensure they remain free and accessible for every neighbor. Will you help us unlock $17,500 in matching funds and fuel this important work even further in 2026?
Our nonprofit journalism amplifies voices in disinvested Dallas neighborhoods and explores solutions to our city’s systemic inequities.
Our vision is for our communities to amplify their own voices, gain agency, and become civically engaged. We do this by providing them with fair, equitable media representation and the communication infrastructure they historically lacked, so they can access the civic information they need and pursue next steps to seeking solutions and pushing for change.
Dallas Free Press owns up to journalism’s racist history of devaluing BIPOC residents and minimizing their stories, while envisioning an anti-racist future that prioritizes Black and Latino voices from neighborhoods such as South Dallas and West Dallas, and utilizes community-powered journalism to guide reporting and storytelling.
Dallas Free Press explicitly seeks staff, contractors, partners and board members who grew up in, live in or reflect the cultures and experiences of our communities.
