Continue to support local journalists: Join us at our latest campaign at bellinghamherald.com/donate.

—

At The Bellingham Herald, we believe in public service journalism. That’s why we’ve joined with Journalism Funding Partners to build philanthropic support for our Report for America program.

We are dedicated to strengthening our coverage of Native American communities. Telling these stories makes our communities more inclusive and informed.

Here's how you can help.

The Bellingham Herald, along with sister papers in Tacoma, Olympia and the Tri-Cities, is investing in community-funded reporting across Washington state. We are working to amplify more voices, listen to our communities and focus on accountability journalism.

You can help fund this important Native American coverage through a tax-deductible donation.

We couldn’t do this without our readers' support.

This expanded coverage strengthens local reporting in our communities. Thank you.
