Your Support of the Reader Can Go Twice As Far
Though September 18th, every contribution we receive from our underwriters gets a $1 for $1 match.
Dear Cloudcroft Neighbors,
Your support for quality local reporting for the greater Cloudcroft community can go twice as far right now.
Thanks to an anonymous donor, every dollar you contribute to the Cloudcroft Reader in the next 10 days will be matched dollar for dollar. That means your $200 becomes $400, your $100 becomes $200, and your $25 becomes $50.
As we celebrate our second anniversary, we’re proud of what we’ve built together: the most widely-read publication serving our mountain community. But we need your help to keep this vital work going strong.
You’ve seen what the Cloudcroft Reader delivers.
We’re the publication that digs into the stories others won’t touch—tracking your tax dollars, monitoring village meetings, and asking the tough questions that keep our local government accountable.
In a time when our village has faced significant challenges, including poor financial management and bewildering staff turnover, this work matters more than ever.
This election cycle makes our role even more critical.
The race for mayor is crucial this year. Since none of the four Trustee positions face competition, village residents have one vote that will steer the direction of the council: Wiley or King.
That’s precisely when independent journalism becomes essential—to ensure transparency and give you the information you need to stay engaged with your community’s future.
Your contribution directly funds the reporting that helps Cloudcroft thrive. Every dollar goes toward investigating the issues that affect your daily life, from budget decisions to development projects to public safety concerns.
We attend meetings, ask tough questions, listen to the community, and report back to you what we learn.
We believe Cloudcroft deserves a strong, independent voice—one that celebrates our community while holding our leaders accountable.
If not us, who? If not now, when?
Please take a moment to support local journalism that makes a difference.
Remember, during this limited-time pledge drive, your contribution has double the impact.
Together, we’ll keep the spotlight shining on the issues that matter most to Cloudcroft.
With gratitude,
Chris Hearne and Hannah Dean
The Cloudcroft Reader
P.S. This matching opportunity ends after September 18th. Don’t let this chance to double your impact slip away.
