At The Sentinel, we believe a strong community depends on access to trustworthy local reporting – and that takes all of us! When you give to our Truth Takes a Village campaign, you’re helping keep independent journalism alive in Murray/Calloway County: stories that hold power accountable, celebrate local life and make sure our neighbors stay informed. Your support keeps the story going.

There are two options:

1. Donate before Nov. 30 and your gift can have triple the impact thanks to the Weaver Challenge and NewsMatch! If you make a one-time donation through our Weaver Challenge portal, the Drs. Dick and Jan Weaver Charitable Trust will match your donation in our endowment with the Murray Calloway County Community Foundation. PLUS all donations made through the Weaver Challenge – up to $1,000/individual – will also be matched dollar-for-dollar by NewsMatch. (Please note that there is not a donor cap for the Weaver Challenge.)

2. Have a lasting impact by becoming a recurring donor! In 2025, The Sentinel received $400/month from recurring donors. That money has been key to growing our website throughout the year – we have upgraded our server, increasing the speed dramatically; hired IT support; and continued to upgrade plugins.

Although recurring donations are not eligible for Weaver, they are eligible for NewsMatch. Not only will NewsMatch match monthly donations, they are matched at their 12-month value, which means your $10 donation today not only helps sustain us throughout the year, but it adds $120 to our pot from NewsMatch! This year, our goal is to get 50 new monthly donors.
