Support Independent Journalism with Benjamin Nowain

Thank you for taking the time to visit this page.

I’m Benjamin Nowain, the creator of The North State Breakdown, a community-focused journalism project dedicated to informing the public, holding local government accountable, and pushing back against disinformation. Since launching this effort, I have worked to provide consistent, thoughtful reporting that gives people the context they need to understand the issues shaping our region.

This work has grown into a full-time commitment. But to keep it going, I need your help.

Right now, I am seeking gap funding to sustain this work while I pursue longer-term support through grant funding. That process is underway, but grant awards take time. In the meantime, I am relying on community support to keep this project moving forward.

Your contribution will help cover the essential costs of research, writing, production, and outreach. More importantly, it will help ensure that independent journalism remains a presence in the North State.

If you believe this work matters, I hope you will consider contributing. If you are not in a position to give, sharing this campaign is just as meaningful.

Thank you for standing with me and for supporting work that puts truth and community first.
