El Paso Matters
At El Paso Matters, we believe that when people have access to trustworthy information, our whole community grows stronger. And in 2026, your gift during the El Paso Giving Day campaign goes so much farther to make that possible. $15,000 during Early Giving can unlock a total of $80,000 in support, thanks to matches and generous supporters. Since 2020, our nonprofit local news organization has delivered high quality information that gives El Pasoans the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their lives and the future of our border region. Recognized nationally for excellence, our mission is simple: empower our community through local news that matters.

Fueling Knowledge, Powering Community

El Paso is a city full of stories worth telling — stories that reveal resilience, spark understanding, and strengthen our community. El Paso Matters tells those stories with depth, accuracy and care.

From local government and education to immigration, health and environment, El Paso Matters brings clarity to complex issues that affect us all. Our journalists ask tough questions, dig deep and provide the context that national outlets often miss about our unique border community.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • No paywalls. No subscriptions. Because everyone deserves access to quality reporting.
  • Nonprofit + nonpartisan. We answer to our community, not advertisers or political agendas.
  • Community-powered. We’re fueled by your support and guided by our responsibility to serve you.

Why Your Gift Matters

Our reliable journalism is free to read, but it’s not free to produce. It takes time, resources and funding to report stories that truly reflect El Paso. Your gift ensures our journalists continue listening, investigating, and reporting on the issues that matter most.

This El Paso Giving Day, we’re aiming to raise $80,000 to keep providing journalism that fuels knowledge and powers community. With your help, we can ensure everyone in our region has access to the information they need to make informed decisions and feel connected to El Paso. and in 2026, generous donors are offering to match the first $40,000 in contributions we receive.

Join us in building a stronger, more informed El Paso. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference.
